 "The Beeb" to air program on Amateur Radio and 9/11  (Sep 1, 2004) --
BBC
Radio 4 this weekend will air a documentary on Amateur Radio's
involvement in
the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The half-hour program, "Unsung
Heroes," will be broadcast Saturday, September 4, at 1030 UTC. It will
remain
available on the BBC's archives for one month after that. "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,"
the BBC program listing says. "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." Mark Phillips, KC2ENI/G7LTT, says the
program,
produced by Kate Bissell, features N2NOV, KF2EO, KE2UN AB2IZ, "and a
whole
host of others," including himself. It was recorded during the last week
of
June. The program also be available in MP3 format on Phillips' Web site
starting September 4.
