Hello Chris and List, This is an interesting topic; the law as it relates to listening in Great Britain is very defined, even to the point of those who can legally listen. For a short and intuitive read: http://www.radio.gov.uk/publication/ra_info/ra169.htm This document was issued originally as Scanners became popular in GB and listing to the emergency services was a great interest. Read with a singular mind one could easily imagine that the document only referred to the frequencies covered by Scanners. However, it obviously refers to the entire spectrum and some necessity of good sense must be exercised when listening. The document states, in simple and plain language exactly what can be legally listened to [And it isn't much, either]. Having read the RA169 doc you will understand why ENIGMA 2000 is careful not to overstep the line, a cautious approach must, out of sensibility, be observed as the statement made in our newsletter proclaims: "Apart from the regulations concerning the reception of wireless stations within Great Britain advice on reporting intelligence matters also exists in the form of DA notices. Whoever the messages, from E03/E03a, are aimed at ENIGMA 2000 has no wish to 'advertise' the existence of these stations to those who may not support the best interests of Great Britain, or its representatives abroad." The RA169 document is not about being a killjoy. It offers advice to those with an interest in listening, interception, earwigging or call it what you will. If the representatives of HM Govt do knock there will be no defence. So yes, we are avoiding the wrath of our Government. We certainly have no wish to fall foul of the various statutes surrounding the interception of others communications and we act accordingly and in sensible fashion. ENIGMA 2000 has no funds or finacial status. Out of pocket expenses are just that - out of mine, or MikeL's pockets. 73 Paul For ENIGMA 2000 [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/enigma2000] >As far as E2K and E3 are concerned, I think they are trying to avoid any overt actions on their part that could bring down the wrath of their As far as E2K and E3 are concerned, I think they are trying to avoid any overt actions on their part that could bring down the wrath of their government. I don't believe E2K has a legal defense fund. ______________________________________________________________ Spooks mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks Help: http://mailman.qth.net/faq.htm Post: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Visit http://www.spynumbers.com/ for complete information about Spy Numbers Stations
