KICKER: THROUGH MUSIC AND MUSINGS, A RADIO DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HAMS

PAUL/ANCHOR: Finally, we end with a story about hams reflecting on being 
hams. It's the sum and substance of a new radio documentary that made its 
premiere at an arts festival in the UK. Jeremy Boot, G4NJH, brings us the 
details.

JEREMY: Radio celebrates radio in a half-hour audio documentary that made 
its debut last month at an arts festival in Dublin. It is a mixture of 
interviews with amateurs based in Ireland, actual on-air contacts made by 
the hams and - because this was for an arts festival - there is also music 
by the Ficino String Quartet, an ensemble also based in Ireland. Dublin's 
Five Lamps Arts Festival presented the half-hour programme, "Ham," as a 
broadcast on Dublin Digital Radio in early April. The documentary is the 
creation of Craig Cox, a composer and an active contributor to the city's 
experimental music community. All those musical notes are complemented by 
an array of technical notes provided in interviews with Annard Brower, 
EI4IQB; Ana Ca¤„izares Bejarano, EI5IXB; Tony Breathnach, EI5EM; and Joe 
Guilf, EI2JZ. The hams talk about moonbounce, signal reports, bandwidth 
and the music inherent in the dits and dahs of Morse Code.

Though the Five Lamps Festival is a community-based event traditionally 
focusing on local arts, culture and theatre, the addition of the drama and 
culture of amateur radio transported the celebration across continents, if 
only for a few moments.

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jeremy Boot, G4NJH.

PAUL/ANCHOR: The documentary can be heard now on demand on SoundCloud. See 
the text version of this week's Newsline script for the link.
