Ham radio to feature in new film

Described as being a 'gritty' television drama and called Tangle, it will deal with the tangled lives of parents, their teenagers and the shifting moral compass of modern life.

Being shot in the inner eastern Melbourne suburb of Kew this month the producers of this ten part series for television have told VK1WIA, the WIA's News service, that the script includes amateur radio in contact with cosmonauts in space.

Amateur Radio Victoria was contacted by the production company, Southern Star, asking for help and it has been able to loan it suitable amateur radio equipment plus other items.

Tangle is being hailed as another exciting chapter in the development of high quality Australian television drama.
It’s due to premiere in 2009.
