@neil That's some nice ham radios.

Haha Ham radio.

@neil Kochschinken.

[vgoller@nrw.social]

@neil no, two nice radios, I see. 2m? 70cm? Pmr? All?

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@jamesb

For anyone else reading this, I point out that it is entirely lawful, in the UK, to possess such a radio, and to use it to receive transmissions.

Definitely not an illegal radio

[jamesb@fedi.duckduckpigeon.co.uk]

@neil True. It's the use of it that could be illegal.

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@jamesb Quite!

@neil NEIL.

[jamesb@fedi.duckduckpigeon.co.uk]

@neil Although mere posession of it could be illegal in certain countries - the UK not being one of them.

And now I'm going to go on a rabbit hole of how Scotland implements radio legislation that follows England and Wales.

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@jamesb I suspect that mere possession could be sufficient to be tortured or killed in some countries.

Probably not Scotland though.

@neil ham-radios!

[abmurrow@hachyderm.io]

@neil @jamesb Wait I never realized you could just be a read-only HAM radio person! This changes things.

[dianora@ottawa.place]

@neil A repeater?

[twohundredmotels@mastodon.social]

@neil my toy

[goingdownwithsundial@mastodon.social]

@neil and now I've got an ear worm! But it's a decent song so I don't mind.

Hurt by Johnny Cash (or if you prefer it, the NIN cover)

@neil an old man.

You have become an OLD MAN.
