''Ham Radio and More,'' hosted by Len Winkler, KB7LPW, from KFNN in Phoenix, will be made available to the 82 member stations on the Talk America Network (TAN) at 6 p.m. EST on the 28th. The show, now in its third year on KFNN, is non-technical and intended to appeal to licensed amateurs as well as the general public. Well-known amateurs are guests on the show, which runs two hours locally but which will last one hour in the network version. Winkler says a grass-roots effort by hams is needed to make the national broadcasts a success. Amateurs are asked to call their local talk radio station (TAN affiliate or not) and encourage them to air ''Ham Radio and More.'' Winkler's first national guest on November 28 will be Frank Moore, WA1URA, a television executive in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and producer of an award-winning documentary video about Amateur Radio's role in communications from Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation in 1990 and early 1991. Amateurs can find out the call signs of stations in their area affiliated with TAN by calling KFNN at 602-241-1510. The show also can be heard via Satcom C-5, Transponder 19, 6.0 audio, and Galaxy 2, Transponder 3, Channel 55.4.
