Also in GB2RS this week…
It has been reported that a person has been prosecuted for racial harassment over the air. Details of the conviction can be found in an entry on 2 February 2022 on the Sussex Police website. The RSGB will be raising this with Ofcom. Anyone experiencing similar on-air harassment is encouraged to report the matter initially to the RSGB OAS Coordinator via the form on the OAS pages of our website.
In December 2021 and January 2022, a clandestine radio station appeared on 3.5 and 7MHz. The broadcasts were unusually in USB and could be heard throughout Europe. The IARU Monitoring System, aided by DARC Intruder Monitoring, were able to determine the approximate location of these transmissions. The German and Italian authorities were then able to have them stopped.
