Yaesu FT-891 UK Price Revealed!
In their latest advert in RadCom this month, Martin Lynch & Sons have revealed the UK price of the new Yaesu FT-891:
£599.95
So is that a good price? - I'm not sure, you can get an FT-857 for about the same price and that has 2m and 70cm (Missing from the FT-891) or you could pay little extra and get the FT-991 which currently has £80 cashback and effectively costs you only £819.95.
I think that this price may well drop a little over the next few months.....

Yaesu FT-891 - Another Photo Shows Detachable Front
Yet another photo has emerged of the new Yaesu FT-891, this time showing the radio with the detachable front removed:
As for availability and price, rumours are that the radio should hit the shops during the summer months with a price of around $900/£620 - This of course is speculation and is yet to be confirmed by Yaesu!

HF Pedestrian Mobile! - M0DAD
Video: YouTube/M0DAD
A great video from David, M0DAD who likes to operate HF Pedestrian Mobile from North East England with all his gear set up on a trolley. David has managed some amazing contacts with this set up and it's obvious that the seaside location (Away from all the electrical noise we have in our homes) makes a massive difference to the transmit and receive.

Broadband Over Powerlines - Users Face £5000 Fine!
Using Powerline Equipment For Your Broadband?
You could end up in court or even in jail!!!!
I have long campaigned to get rid of Broadband Over Powerline devices due to the high levels of interference they cause. Now, at long last, it would appear that OFCOM are taking this threat to the radio spectrum seriously....!
Mainly due to pressure from GCHQ by the sound of it....
If you use Powerline Equipment and it causes interference to radio users (That would be everyones powerline equipment due to the very nature of the devices and the way they work) you could face a fine of up to £5000 or a 3 month jail sentence.
I personally feel that many people using this equipment have no idea of the possible harm they are causing to radio users and a better solution would be to ban the sale of these items in the first place or at least shift the responsibility to the retailers. If your local Argos, Maplin or your telecoms supplier were to be made liable they may well think twice before supplying these dreadful devices....!

This video shows a 'home brew' QRP SSB transceiver in use and sure is working well! Great use of an old CB radio case.
