Short summary
Herman has a new Ham radio and picks up two friends of Eddie playing Spacemen on their walkie talkies. Thinking Martians have landed, he and Grandpa go out searching for spaceships using the latter's radio direction finder.
Herman sings "My Mother's Eyes" (music by Abel Baer, L., lyric by Wolfe Gilbert), the theme song from the motion picture Lucky Boy (1928).
"Ham radio" is an informal name for an amateur radio operator. As early as 1901, the terms "ham" and "plug" were used by landline telegraphers to describe an operator "who lacks ability" or who had poor or "ham fisted" skills.
Herman's call sign 'W-6-XRL4' indicates his geographical region ('W' for USA and '6' for California) and his unique identifier (in this case, a mock code, since the last suffix-character should always be a letter).
The Martian seen at the end of the episode is the Helosian from The Outer Limits: O.B.I.T. (1963).
