"Unsung Heroes"
BBC RADIO 4
Sat Sept 4, 1030 UTC (30 mins)

Through moving interviews, sensitive use of ham radio transmissions and some
harrowing accounts, Unsung Heroes reveals the little known story of the 9/11
ham radio
operators who provided vital communication networks for the rescue agencies.
Hams, often mocked for their obsessive hobby, believe that September 11th
became
amateur radio's finest hour.

Stephen Evans, the BBC's North American Business Correspondent witnessed the
attacks that day and meets with ham operators who witnessed the terrorist
attacks or
lost friends and relatives on September 11th and still helped to support the
search and rescue operation.
