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?
Well we haven't been nuked yet ;-)
Well the Soviet Nuclear weapon defence threat kept the Americans under
control for decades.
As well as the Brits.
The UK nuclear weapons are firmly under the control of the Americans
anyway, so I don't think we have them for other than ceremonial and
solidarity reasons. They're not cheap either.
So if the UK were nuked, there would be no retaliation until the US
allowed it?
The NATO treaty suggests that USA would have to retaliate also.
