Hi Robert,
The Freedom statement above has always intrigued
me.
Talking about radio signals - take the HF band, once
deemed unusable
by governments around the world was eventually demonstrated to
be viable by early
Ham radio pioneers when the first historic transatlantic QSO
was made on HF.
Sadly enough those Ham radio pioneers ended up "dumped" in
tiny little bands on
HF by those very governments.
I guess one's Freedom inherently implies restricting
another's freedom .. ?
Hmm, food for thought.
