@zaraza You need a licence for that?

Just looked. Here in Spain you even have to pass a 90 minute exam to get one and pay about €120 in tax!

Sorry to hear you went through that, Ted — that sounds like a really rough night. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better today. Take it easy and hope you’re back to feeling yourself again soon. ☕🙂

My world is pretty chaotic right now. I’ve dismantled my daughter’s room because we bought her a new one. I had to move the old furniture to the balcony while we wait for the recycling service to pick it up. I’ve also had to cut channels in the walls to move some electrical outlets and install new ones that match the new room. And I still have to paint! At least I won’t have to assemble the new furniture myself…

On top of that, at work there never seem to be enough hours in the day. And of course, everything that used to be in my daughter’s room is now scattered all over the house, so I barely have time for anything.

Sounds like a lot on your plate, @marder. Hope things settle down soon and the painting goes smoothly!

Good day FGMers ☕

Weekend activities accomplished and I’m back at the gaming desk. Planning to run a few turns and catch up on some sports on the telly today. I’m also hoping to watch the England–France Six Nations final later, so no spoilers please — I may steer clear of the thread until I’ve seen it! 😄🏉

Yes, using certain frequencies requires license. Getting one is quite simple, you have to pass exam that covers basics of radio tech, frequencies and bands. I believe entire Europe follows same principles.

However, there is a frequency range available to everyone ( licence not needed, but with certain restrictions ) and that is PMR ( Private Mobile Radio )

Just watched the England–France match. No spoilers from me, but I suspect the referees might be getting a bit of extra discussion in the pubs tonight! Quite a match. 🏉

Such a brilliant game, and so so close the ending

Decided to quit smoking ( again ). I hadn't smoke for years, but re-started when my daughter was on some kind of school trip. I knew everything was fine, but i just couldn't sit still for more than 2 minutes 🙂 Also, i have totally neglected my cycling, that must be changed!

Keep it up (with quitting smoking). I'll be 10 years old next April. As for the bike, I got one in December. I hardly ever use it (almost never). It was just a whim to buy it.

Top of the morning to you, chaps ☀️☀️☕

A very Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all — hope the day finds you well and in good spirits. I’ll be heading out to catch a bit of live Irish music later (nothing like it on a day like today). 🍀🎶

Sláinte, and may the road rise to meet you. 🍻
