There will be no Alexanderson Day over-the-air VLF transmission on 2 July
2017 from SAQ, the Alexanderson alternator station in Sweden. SAQ
periodically schedules transmissions with the nearly century-old behemoth
that operates on 17.2kHz from the World Heritage Grimeton Radio Station.
SAQ said the event was cancelled due to ongoing maintenance work at the
site. []

SM3UHV, is a professor at the Department of Physics at Umeå University. She

National Service types who would have you believe he was a Colonel, if
not a General, who had singlehandedly saved the nation from some
calamity and probably insist he was still referred to by his, supposed,
former rank. Just look how he refers to his imaginary time in the CS. I
suppose being a postman doesn't offer much opportunity for 'imaginative'
stories.

just before the farce foundation licence came in, the present was the

now, the farce is the present and the futility is putting up with it

in his postings to the NG, would be a better choice than
a professor of history.
One wonders whether the RSCB intended misleading propaganda
by describing Anthony Kent as a professor, for it seems
that the professorship / chair is irrelevant to amateur radio.

Well said.
It's the same with elections, and the dazzling future the candidates and
parties promise you. The mess that they want to get you out of is the
same dazzling future you were promised last time they wanted your vote.
The young buy in to the far-reaching promises, the 1000-yard stare and
the sweeping hand gestures from the charismatic leaders, not knowing any
better. 20 years of being kicked in the teeth changes their views, but
too late - there's another crop of youngsters out there blinded by the
light shining out of someone's backside.

If he was answering a GCSE question, he would get minimal marks for his

rather well (significantly more than Germany, for example) but it was
spent on many things- including essentially overseas aid. Rather than
being targeted at specific investment programmes, it was treated as
extra general income. It soon ran out and yielded no long term benefits.
Germany, for example, invested in modern industry (ditto Japan). Their
return was the long term income that yielded.
At the time, the political 'mind set' hadn't recognised the changing

treating patients such as those who have this

currently NO audit or checking of NHS dentistry.

The 'silly' cost of UK dental care was made clear when I broke a tooth
in France last year. I was able to get an emergency appointment on a Sat
morning. The dentist did the required work, including xrays etc. The
total bill (they weren't interested in my EHIC) was under 25 Euro. It
wasn't worth claiming on the travel insurance. As far as I could tell,
it was the equivalent of an NHS dental centre where people who used the
(French) state scheme went. I assume they had to pay, as I did.
Conversely, I've recently paid for a family member to have 'root canal'
work done- £850, including so special filling. A special 'cap' is also
needed, yet to be done, the total bill is expected to be about
£1500/1600. It couldn't be done on the NHS. Had she not has exams, it
would probably have been cheaper to send her to France for a holiday and
have the work done there ;-)

Root Canals
Endontic Therapy £132 - £263
Root Canals £132 - £263
"Milena, UK, 09 Jun 17
I went in expecting to have a root canal, but after a few tests the
dentist recommended other solution to my problem, which proved to be a
jackpot. You must be aware that the dentist is quite young, but he makes
up with professionalism, care and, which is an important factor for me,
very good English. Overall it was as nice of an experience as dentist
visits go. I am coming back It was a very pleasant experience. The
facility is brand new, neat and designed in a modern manner. The
receptionist was helpful and very polite. The system is fully automated.
Card payment available. They print the bill together with information
about the refund. I recommend visiting."

If the patient is on the NHS and "needs" something, it HAS to be

available on the NHS.
Sounds like a classic rip-off to me.

One might think that someone with health issues who takes caravan
holidays in Europe might be better informed on the health facilities and
procedures there, rather than in which pavement cafe to sit and drink a
glass of Leffe Blonde. And Brussels is a mere £58 return on the right
day, with a trivial 3-hour journey time - far cheaper to be treated
there than here. OTOH this particular cake might just be a little
over-egged.
