Unsung Heroes: A 911 Tribute to the
Victims and Hams that assisted
"The Beeb" to air program on Amateur Radio and 9/11: 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
<http://www.g7ltt.com/audio-files/911r4.mp3> starting September 4.
