Radio Amateurs Angered

Like many Radio Amateurs, Duncan Heathershaw G3TLI was angry about the Hull Daily Mail describing an unlicenced convicted radio jammer as an 'Amateur Radio Enthusiast'.

He wrote to the newspaper explaining what is involved in becoming a licenced Amateur Radio operator.

The Hull Daily Mail have just published his letter under the title "Radio Amateurs Angered" at:

amateurs-angered/article-2961519-detail/article.html

This shows how incorrect use of the words "Amateur Radio" by a newspaper can be turned into an opportunity to explain and promote the hobby.
