You have a chance to work Antonio, EA5RM, operating as CP1XRM from

KICKER FROM GRAHAM ON WKRP

NEIL/ANCHOR: We end this week with a story about radio waves that truly
know no bounds - not even inside the walls of a high-security prison.
From Australia, here's Graham Kemp, VK4BB.

GRAHAM: There's something to be said for the power of radio, even if in
this case it's not amateur radio - and even if, in this case, it's radio
produced inside a remote high-security prison.

The inmates here call their service the West Kimberley Regional Prison
Radio Hour - or WKRP. No, not *that* WKRP, the name of the radio station
in that wildly popular American TV series of some years ago, based in
Cincinnati. This is radio programming that gives details on prison
happenings. When it was launched last year, it was envisaged as a
bulletin service of sorts, for simple updates, but now, the program is
heard outside the Western Australian prison's prison walls on community
stations. If you've ever had "mic fright" as a ham, you have something
in common with the inmates here who received expert coaching from
Rebekah O'Meara, and encouragement from producer Brad Spring, of Derby
Aboriginal Media Corporation.

Now the hourlong weekly show is heard through the National Indigenous
Radio Service. The audience isn't a captive one, but the program's
announcers are, at least until their time served is over.

Hams can relate, no? There's nothing better than getting the word out -
no matter what walls you may be behind - and knowing others really hear
you.

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Graham Kemp, VK4BB.

NEIL/ANCHOR: Finally, some terrific news on a personal note: Dr. Tamitha
Skov, aka The Space Weather Woman, has come through on her promise to
get a Ham licence. She's currently waiting on her vanity call sign, but
all of us here at ARNewsline welcome her to our great hobby that she has
been supporting already for a few years with her propagation reports,
that are keenly followed on her website, twitter and on Ham Nation.
