KICKER: COMPOSING A TRIBUTE TO GREECE'S MUSICAL GENIUS

STEPHEN/ANCHOR: Our last story for this week is about a chance to listen
to your radio for a tribute to a musical genius. This Greek composer has
written more than 1,000 songs, and now he's got a special event station
created in his honor. Here's Graham Kemp, VK4BB.

GRAHAM: While music may not be permitted on amateur radio, no such
restrictions apply to composers. So the Thessaloniki Radio Amateur Group,
SZ2T, is hosting a special event station in July to honor Mikis
Theodorakis, considered Greece's best-known living composer. The artist
is turning 94 years old, and hams are paying a non-musical tribute by
calling QRZ from the 20th to the 29th of July, his actual birthday. The
call sign is SX94MIKIS.

You probably know the composer's music: He scored such films as
"Serpico," "Z", and "Zorba the Greek." He is also the recipient of the
Lenin Peace Prize, and was a nominee in the year 2000 for the Nobel
Peace Prize. Though amateur radio can't promise such high-level honors
to radio operators contacting this special-event station, the activation
does have an awards scheme of its own, and the prizes include song sheets
written in the composer's own hand, provided from his archives.

So compose yourself - and be listening next month to the bands - just not
the musical ones.

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