What sort of amateur radio do you have? HF? VHF? Can you transmit when on a naval vessel (I guess not).

I'm reading up for my amateur radio exam in Ireland.

That's so interesting, I would have thought for operational reasons it would be official comms only, amateur stuff wouldn't be allowed on the boat. Very interesting, I'd love a tour.

I'll keep a listen. I've only an old kenwood TS850 that I was given. Can't tx without the licence, hopefully soon that will change.

Thanks for the interesting AmA

Long time Newshour listener, the finest impartial source of news, keep up the good work Lyse :)

Do you think cut's to BBC WS foreign language services are going to make a major impact upon the availability of impartial news sources, especially in media oppressive regimes?

The World Service used to be funded by the Foreign Office and not from the licence fee.

And WS is about as impartial as a broadcaster gets; find me one thats less. You'll be hard pressed.
