Amateur Radio Author and ICQ Amateur / Ham Radio Podcaster Dan Romanchik KB6NU has made some videos available from his one-day amateur radio Technician licence classes

KB6NU's One Day Tech Class: Ohm's Law

The US Technician license allows holders to run 200 watts output in four HF bands and 1,500 watts output on all amateur bands above 50 MHz. It permits the holder to design and build their own transmitters at these power levels, allows then to run their own Repeaters, and permits Maritime Mobile operation.

Ofcom on Communications after Brexit

/

Ofcom CEO Sharon White has recently given an update post Brexit, expressing her views in relation to the UK’s £57bn communications sector

In the decades since Shortwave Radio first crossed the “Iron Curtain”, White notes that satellites have come to beam pictures into billions of homes.

For many years, European broadcasters have been able to transmit across the EU and wider European continent, so long as they comply with the rules of the country in which they are established.

That principle should endure in the UK, so that media companies based here don’t face unnecessary hurdles. The UK is home to the largest number of pan-European media companies, and we want to retain that talent.
