Everyone,
Is there any truth to this? If so, wouldn't ham radio operators be in jeopardy?
Dear all
Long time reader, first time poster....and I'm sorry that my first post is such a blatant attempt to exploit your collective good wills and intelligence on a Saturday evening, but I would like to confirm a point of detail about the the BBC World Service.
I remember reading - or hearing - that until really quite recently (1980s or 1990s) it was illegal to listen to the BBC's overseas services within the UK. Can anyone confirm whether this is indeed correct, and - if possible - the date at which the legislation was changed to make listening to the WS legal?
Many thanks,
