Narrative:

On final for a VOR training approach; I made radio calls over the VOR inbound on the approach; at 'the highway' inbound; and a two mile final call for low approach only. We were between a mile and a mile and a half out when I noticed PA28 traffic on upwind. The traffic on upwind had made a call for final for his previous landing; but had not mentioned in his radio call what type of landing he was doing. I saw the traffic on upwind and made an evasive climbing right turn to avoid him.the pilot of the other aircraft acknowledged that he had forgotten to make an upwind radio call after we had both regained separation from each other. I feel that the problem here was simply a breakdown in radio communications due to the student pilot in the other aircraft not stating his type of landing intentions or making a radio call on upwind. A discussion between myself and the instructor of the in the PA28 will be the corrective action.
