Re: No jab, no job
Actually it's nothing new. Want to work in the health service? Hepatitis B immunisation is effectively mandatory. I quote "All HCWs who undertake Exposure Prone Procedures (EPPs) must provide evidence that they are not a hepatitis B infection risk and must provide proof of antigen and antibody ...

Re: PTT. Simples...
Dear Jenny101, Firstly, please understand I was not having a go at you. The legalities of radio transmission are complex and people can innocently get into problems. PMR has a very specific role. There are many occasions where a simple short range radio system is useful. PMR came as a legal means to...

Re: What made you become a prepper?
Long term thing for me. Child during power cuts from Miners strikes. So remember using candles and torches in short supply. Cold War , I remember getting a rather feeble leaflet on nuclear survival by sending a postal order for 5 shillings. Later got my copy of Barry Popkess "The Nuclear Surviv...

Re: PTT. Simples...
Legally the PMR standard requires a fixed antenna. The idea is to make them idiot proof so modification is not allowed. A radio amateur who used their own equipment to transmit on the PMR frequencies would be in breach of their licence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PMR446 https://web.archive.org/we...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 8.
Strange is a genuine particle. It is one of six "Quarks" Rejoicing in the names Strange, Up, Down, Top, Bottom and Charmed. Do you need further proof physicists are weird? Quarks put together in different groups make up the hadrons ( as in large hadron collider). the best known hadrons are...

Urban legend.
Hahn never actually made a true reactor just a neutron source that made some elements.

Bath based Distance learning for Advanced Licence
The highly respected Bath Radio Amateur Training courses are restarting. Anyone who has got the first two licences ( Foundation and Intermediate) should consider doing the advanced with Steve Hartley and his crew. Their results are excellent. They got me through it so they are good. https://badarc.w...

WHO guidance on masks
This is the current WHO guidance on masks. Despite a lot of unfair criticism they do the best they can and this guidance is likely as good as it can be. It is long and technical but covers the uncertainty. They rightly take a slight side swipe at all the talk about aerosols which may or may not be i...

There was a BBC article recently on how close to the edge the food ind...
