Phantom Chats with ham radio
operators!
Artists and writers are quite aware about the potentiality of amateur radio. The
innovative ideas of the creator of the famous comic strip hero 'Phantom' can be seen 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'!
