Re: [HCDX] BBC R Gloucestershire on 1493.5 kHz



How should you react? Depends how a.r. you are.

I could have not sent it from work in the first place, which would have obviated the question completely.

It would then not have been posted to the list until well after midnight when I finish work and get home, and you would never have had the opportunity to try for the signal.

You could actually *read* the disclaimer ... (that is added to all outgoing emails from work automatically by the email system, and is beyond my control)

confidential ... yes to the intended recipients, ie the HCDX mail-list.
in error ... no, therefore ignore the rest of that sentence.
contains personal views ... yes of course it does
does it specifically state they are BBC Views ... no

So what is your problem?

There was no "copyright" statement here to conflict with HCDX's one.

Dear list members,
How should I react to E-mails like the one I just got ?


BBC R Gloucestershire is currently radiating a strong spurious emission on
1493.5 kHz.
The 1493.5 kHz emission is proving easier to hear than their allocated
channel of 1413 kHz for many people outside the local coverage area.



Wow, let us heat up the receiver, loop aerial and what have you, to give
this a go.

but :
This e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential. If you have received
it in error, please delete it from your system, do not use or disclose
the information in any way, and notify me immediately. The contents of
this message may contain personal views which are not the views of the
BBC, unless specifically stated.


Now I am in  a serious conflict. Maybe I am not allowed to use this
information in any way. So maybe I will switch my receiver off. Or maybe I
will listen with the curtains closed. Otherwise they may send James Bond
after me. Or worse still, they may send Mrs.Thatcher.........

Jokes aside, one copyright disclaimer as we normally have in HCDX is enough
for me. I do not need any other limitations, unless the only statement the
writer meant to make was the last sentence (I can accept that, just as Andy
Sennitt does it for RNW)
