THAT FINAL ITEM: THE ARCHIVES OF HAM RADIO AND MORE
Newline Report 1951, February 6, 2015
And finally this week, a trip back in time. Take a listen:
That's the voice of Len Winkler, KB7LPW, now KH7LW, who was the creator and host
of the first weekly radio show devoted to amateur radio to be broadcast on the
commercial radio band.
The original Ham Radio and More Radio Show premiered in April, 1991. At it's
height of popularity, it was syndicated on the Talk America Radio Network, and
was heard on more than 70 National Radio Stations, along with live and taped
shortwave airings on WWCR, and streamed live on the Internet.
The show took a steady stream of call-ins from as far away as Europe and had
spirited debate regarding matters of importance to hams of the time. The final
live show, number 339, aired on October 26, 1997.
Now, KH7LW has announced that he’s in the process of creating an on-line archive
of Ham Radio and More programs. Several are already posted and he plans to
digitize and upload as many as he can. So if you want to hear what was on the
mind of hams in the 1990's take your web browser towww.hamradioandmore.com/shows.htm,
sit back, turn up the volume and enjoy. (Facebook)

The
ORIGINAL
Ham Radio & More Radio Show premiered
in April, 1991. At it's height of popularity, it was syndicated on the Talk
America Radio Network, and was heard on more than 70 National Radio Stations,
along with live and taped shortwave airings on WWCR, and also streamed live on the Internet.
The show took a steady stream of call-ins from as far away as Europe and had
spirited debate regarding the elimination of the Morse Code requirement, and so
much more. The show originated from the studios of KFNN, AM1510,
in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona and aired there through June 8, 1997. The show was
on every Sunday, nationally for one hour, and locally for another hour. June 15,
1997, it moved
to Len Winkler, KB7LPW's office and was broadcast solely on WWCR Shortwave,
live and replayed 2-3 times more each week. The final live show was October
26, 1997, #339th show. It was the ONLY weekly radio show devoted to amateur
radio on the commercial bands and may still be the only one EVER!
IT'S TOO BAD THAT THE INDUSTRY & THE ARRL (DAVE SUMNER),
(OTHER THAN KEN NICHOLS
WA7HXZ, AMATEUR RADIO TRADER MAGAZINE, MFJ ENTERPRISES, AND THE
LISTENERS), DIDN'T SUPPORT IT.
