<H1>Migrants saved by Italian Radio Ham</H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>A Ukrainian family of six, lightly clothed and in some
cases barefoot, has been rescued after illegally trying to cross the Alps into
Switzerland.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The asylum seekers, including four children, had got lost
near Monte Lema in the Italian-speaking southern canton of Ticino. Some suffered
severe frostbite.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>According to the Ticino police, the family was saved by
the fact they were <STRONG>carrying a walkie-talkie</STRONG>.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Their appeals for help in English were picked up by an
<STRONG>Italian amateur radio enthusiast</STRONG>, who alerted the police in
Ticino on Sunday.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The Ticino justice authorities announced on Monday that
they have started an investigation into the incident.</FONT></P>
