[MilCom] Everybody should read this !!

[AllanStern at aol.com]

A fellow in Germany applied for membership in my HFmonitors group. When he  
received my message that he would be expected to contribute to the Group if 
I  approved his membership, here is the message he sent me.
 
"I'm sorry, but this is a problem in Germany. For example, it's not allowed 
 to listen any non AT- or BC-broadcasts. The German law is strict and so I 
have  to be only a lurker, sorry! I'm pity!"
 
Other persons in Germany have advised me of the same restrictive law  there.
So to all of you who complain about having to put up with encrypted comms,  
or who whine about not hearing enough Mil comms, be thankful that you are 
free  to monitor comms without the threat of arrest.
 
By the way, I approved his membership, so at least he can read about what  
the rest of us are hearing.
