Those who were self-taught to the exclusion of sideband and sidetone
are no doubt unaware that in the event of a nuclear detonation that an EMP
will melt the RF amps in their RXs because of the amount of power that
their antennae will pick up?
Anyway, in the light of the events in Paris last Friday, and previously
the attack
on the World Trade Centre on 11/9 the costly and
unnecessary nuclear deterrent doesn't seem to be working awfully well,
does it?

No doubt there are those who will misunderstand, perhaps for the purpose
of being obnoxiously argumentative, as does reay, the nub of my posts above,
which is, that
the threat to world peace does not come from nuclear bombs, but
figuratively, from an armada
of rowing boats crewed by those wearing the Osama Bin Liner and brandishing
sickles and scimitars.

With the outpouring of shock, hypocritically from Yankland, Britland and
France who supply the international
arms market which market supplied the AK47s and explosives, with "only" 250
people killed
or wounded, who, now, in their right mind, would set off a nuclear bomb
where the
damage to people would be many thousands of times worse?

So there is no purpose to the waste of money and resources inherent in
nuclear bombs
