That is incorrect. You can listen to anything you like as long as you are
not caught.

Sorry you are wrong there.



were do i stand listening to over sea,s broadcasts hear in the uk...

If you can hear them you can listen to them.

i can hear them and i do have the right equipment i.e AOR AR5000A+3
AOR SDU5600 spectrum display unit....
i also have a number of antennas installed ranging from a simple Full Sized
G5RV / discone / Dresler active antenna../ crossed dipole for satalites
reception and also a couple of home brewed antennas......

you need to get your facts right before you go shooting your mouth off Look
at the RSGB web site and down load the following information sheet ( receive
only )

still
come under the uk law,s on scanning hear in the uk not wanting to get on
the
wrong side of the law.
