[TheList] MED newsletter

I haven't touched it. It was brand new supplied by Icom NZ like that.

It's not illegal to posses, just illegal to operate... Except in a 
genuine emergency :-)

I'll bet if all hams were audited at least 75% would have gear capable 
of operating out of band.

Fact of life, unfortunately.

Hows things with Kordia these days anyway? You still there?

Regards,

Neill.
