Phantom Chats with ham radio
operators!
Artists and writers are quite aware about the potentiality of amateur radio. We can see
the innovative ideas of the creator of the famous comic strip hero 'Phantom' in his comic
books. In these comic strips, Lee Falk illustrates how Phantom operates his radio station
from deep inside the jungle and how his short wave wireless message gets tied to the
telephone line (hams call it Telephone Patching) with the help of a ham by the name of
Oscar. Every ham radio operator has got his own "handle" (name). Phantom's
handle is 'Kit'!
