@vfrmedia @gettie Point is that #Telco regulations stems from #Telegraphy and #Postal operations, and whilst there are legitimate reasons for #regulators to disconnect phone lines (otherwise #robocalling and #SMS-#Spam would be even more rampant than #eMail-#Spamming!)

  • Which OFC also intertwines with "#LawfulInterception" and the means of Governments to exercise control.
    • So anything claiming #security must inherently acknowledge the unfixable #insecurity of the #PSTN and completely cease using it and it's per-design compromised Infrastructure as a matter of principle.

That's why any "#secure communications" treats it as a hostile network and not to be trusted!

  • And that's not even scratching the surface that countries try to outlaw #anonymity - starting with #Prepaid - #SIM - Cards.
    • Because those traditionally had no reason for "#KYC" as there was no means for a customer to incur #debt or commit #fraud against the telco that provided said services, so there was [and IMHO still is] no "legitimate interest" in demanding any #ID for those, as any crime committed would be investigated with the existing #Govware inside the networks and thus found out.

A couple of weeks back I've had a #telegraphy QSO in #morsecode with the Cap San Diego in #Hamburg. It is a cargo ship from the early 1960s that has been turned into a museum. In its radio operation room a group of former maritime radio operators have set up a amateur radio station.
In the QSO I've been invited so today I paid a visit to the ship and the station. (1/2)

@quixoticgeek Porthcurno museum of telecoms and telegraphy, in the old Cable & Wireless technical college. Bit out of your way but well worth a visit if you’re ever in the area.

Pardon the noise! 🚧 I decided it was time for a hard reset. I’ve wiped the slate clean and am rebuilding the site (https://dg5cw.darc.de/) from the ground up. 'Morse News' is already live, but the rest is currently under construction. Stay tuned—things are going to be changing fast...

Today it was time for another park activation. Conditions allowed for a few park to park QSOs. After working Europe on the 14Mhz band I switched to 21Mhz and got some nice gray-line DX contacts to the US and Canada.
After one and a half hours at 2°C I called it a day.
The total of 37 contacts in SSB and CW making this a very successful activation!
