@TheNotARubicon I use a number of Chinese radios of different makes and all work well and do everything I require. I know a number of people who have been introduced to to amateur radio because of them. Radio is there to enjoy irrespective of of the type of licence you possess. Robert G4PYR.

@TheNotARubicon That’s a really nice image, would make a nice picture enlarged on a wall

Ofcom consultation 'Updating the amateur radio licensing framework' opened today. According to Ofcom, consultation aims to “provide greater operating freedom for radio amateurs; and make process of getting and using a licence simpler, clearer and more responsive.” [1/2]

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Her dad told her, "If you marry that man you will never set foot in this house again."

Mary soon learned that most people felt the same way.

The first years of their marriage living in Birmingham were hell-- no one would speak to them, they couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and they had no money. But they didn't give up.

Gradually life became easier. Mary got teaching jobs, ending up as a deputy head teacher. Jake worked in a factory and then got a job at the Post Office. Slowly they made friends, but it was difficult. Mary used to tell people, "before I invite you to my home.... my husband is Black." Some would never talk to her again.

Last year they celebrated their 74th anniversary and they are still very much in love, and never regretted what they did.'

@JoAnnKrall Have you ever noticed when you call somebody that wrong numbers are never engaged? Think about it!!

[Robert Maskill @OldArkwright]

@JoAnnKrall A card saying Seconds out round 2 perhaps

[Robert Maskill @OldArkwright]

@JoAnnKrall Rocks are so versatile for putting stuff on and round.

[Robert Maskill @OldArkwright]

@TheNotARubicon I think the most important reasons are 1. You want to and 2. You feel you will get something from the hobby. There is more to amateur radio than just communicating on a radio, but these days the hobby is promoted just about operating.

[Robert Maskill @OldArkwright]

@JoAnnKrall That’s what we all aim for. But some aim with their eyes shut!

@Ju_Freeman Always remember Julie the people who say money does not matter are those with all the money!
