Disclaimers of a few bits

Radio projects

When I am working on radio projects I need to point out the following bits as someone will say oh you can not do that. Mostly due to different countries restrictions. Below are the bits to think on

• I hold a UK intermediate radio license. I am limited by this on what I can and can not do. As a intermediate at time of writing I am restricted to 100W power. I am allowed to build items.
• All simplex nodes I manage hold NoV’s and are managed in accordance with them. The controllers / network is not subjected to the Nov’s for the nodes.
• For the nodes close down operators are in place and other shutdown methods are also in operation
• A node may appear online when it is not in operation. Each of the radios are fitted with their own power controls and timers. The controller’s are not subject to this
• In some videos / photos you may see me operating a radio while I am driving. In accordance with the UK law and my licence I am allowed to do this as long as it not causing me a distraction. My car is fitted with a handsfree kit for the radio
• The CB radio I used can only do 4W and is licence free.

Internet Projects

With projects involving networking / internet at the time of writing some things may or may not be in place. IP address / names / sensitive information may be removed. Locations may also be changed / amended to maintain privacy / security.

Your mileage may very and is not a official way of doing things. I am in no way a expert and more a hobbyist. Projects here may not be in service or handling live / customer data / equipment. If for any reason a project goes live this maybe with a different set of configuration

Talk of mental health

Sometimes there maybe mention of topics involving mental health. I speak very openly about mine and maybe upsetting / triggering for others. I have a support network around me and if at anytime I feel there is a issue / struggle I can reach out. If however a subject has touched a sensitive spot I urge you to reach out to someone or call 999 if you are really struggling. I am happy to speak to someone if they are struggling but anything I say is not professional help nor should be taken as.

Brands / Sponsored

Any brands / suppliers / people mentioned in no way a official endorsement. If I mention a brand / supplier / person it is my own view and not of them or my employer(s).
