about

This work was broadcast on ABC Classic FM as part of their “Art of Radio” series celebrating the ABC's 70th Anniversary.
Radio is a mass medium with public and commercial broadcasting sectors. But there's also amateur, or "ham" radio which connects many individuals to a magic world of signals and contacts. VK4SS is a sound collage dedicated to the world of amateur radio and its practitioners. Alan Shawsmith was a Brisbane-based radio amateur with about seven decades of experience when he was interviewed by Dimond in 2001-2002, and his recollections and stories are featured as part of this collage. Indeed, Mr Shawsmith is living history, and it is hoped that those without prior knowledge of the hobby will recognise its validity and potential in today's world of digital telephones and satellite navigation - as well as its contribution to these technologies, and society in general.
