  We present a study of the reaction e+e- \to pi+pi-gamma at the phi peak with
the KLOE detector at the phi-factory DAPHNE. This reaction allows us to obtain
the cross section for \e+e- \to pi+pi- from the e+e- center-of-mass energy W =
m_\phi = 1019 MeV down to threshold, i.e. 2m_pi < M_(pipi) < m_phi. This is
called radiative return. The status of the analysis and preliminary results on
the invariant mass spectrum of the two-pion-state are presented.
