Radio show goes national

A local radio program on Amateur Radio will go nationwide beginning
Sunday, November 28.  ''Ham Radio and More,'' hosted by Len Winkler,
KB7LPW, from KFNN in Phoenix, will be made available to the 82
member stations on the Talk America Network (TAN) at 6 p.m. EST on
the 28th.

The show, now in its third year on KFNN, is non-technical and
intended to appeal to licensed amateurs as well as the general
public.  Well-known amateurs are guests on the show, which runs two
hours locally but which will last one hour in the network version.

Winkler says a grass-roots effort by hams is needed to make the
national broadcasts a success.  Amateurs are asked to call their
local talk radio station (TAN affiliate or not) and encourage them
to air ''Ham Radio and More.''

Winkler's first national guest on November 28 will be Frank Moore,
WA1URA, a television executive in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and producer
of an award-winning documentary video about Amateur Radio's role in
communications from Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation in 1990 and
early 1991.

Amateurs can find out the call signs of stations in their area
affiliated with TAN by calling KFNN at 602-241-1510.  The show also
can be heard via Satcom C-5, Transponder 19, 6.0 audio, and Galaxy
2, Transponder 3, Channel 55.4.
