several states have now outlawed using ham radio while walking. this
is part of their ban on ALL electronic devices while walking as a
result of the lady who fell into a fountain while walking in a mall.
however, instead of outlawing only texting while walking, the new
laws state using ANY electronic device while walking is against the
law and violators will get fined over two hundred dollars for doing
such. And unlike the driving laws, there are NO exceptions for ham
radio or cbl radio in these states laws against using ANY and ALL
electronic devices while walking.
No hearing aids?
That's right. Walking and listening at the same time is forbidden.... As a
matter of fact, listening in general might as well be forbidden. It has
become a lost art.....
