Legalities Of Posting Videos Online

Most of us do it... We hear an interesting contact on CB or Amateur Radio, make a video and post it on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc.

But it it legal? Are there any privacy issues?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

As we are about to enter a new decade I'd just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We are at the very bottom of the solar cycle and the bands have been very quiet DX wise, however the regular weekly nets on SSB and AM go from strength to strength all across the UK.

Fingers crossed that we see a bit more DX activity in the year ahead. Things can only get better as they say.....

Yaesu 857D Discontinued?

Rumour going around that Yaesu have discontinued their 857D.

(To be confirmed)

It's been a good workhorse for many an operator. Maybe they have a new radio in the pipeline... 891 with 2m and 70cm perhaps?

Radio User - The Return of CB Radio

The January 2020 edition of Radio User Magazine is out now online and in the shops in the next few days. It sees the return of CB Radio with Dave M0OGY and his new regular slot.

The magazine dropped CB Radio completely from its pages a while back but to be honest it hasn't had a UK CB Radio perspective for many years having focused mainly on the hobby from a European angle. However that is all about to change as Dave promises to be the voice of UK CB Radio.

I'll be taking a wander down to my local WMSmith's this week to pick up my first copy of the magazine in many years... At last there will be something worth reading in it!!!! 😉
