So when (and why) did the original GB3SL go off the air then? GB3SL is
currently the call of the Kilsyth 6m FM repeater.

He's got one bit right.
"Most radio hams have a 'hang-up' about something or another. If you
can find that hang-up, it's usually fairly easy to get them worked-up
about it. This then can turn into a slanging match and is great fun to
argue using the devils advocate approach. You'll see how quickly they
can lose their temper."

He is trying to level the field. He never seems to have the remotest idea
what he is talking about so doesn't want anyone else to ;-)
I'm still at a loss understand his problem with the word blanket and why he
keeps introducing Asperger's into threads and then complains that someone
else has used the word less that he has.
There must be a PhD in there for someone.

It allows him to confabulate anything he wants. Don't confuse
confabulation, where the confabulator may actually believe what he
says/writes, with simple lies, where the liar knows full well he is making
it up.
To confabulate, the culprit could, in the context of newsgroup, claim he'd
been insulted or offended by the use of normal terms and wording or simple
questions. For example, the work blanket seems to cause some problems to
starship (and zap in the past, a coincidence I'm sure ;-) ). Likewise, by
"seeding" words (eg Aspergers) which may the get "picked up" in quoting, the
culprit becomes confused as to who wrote what.
Interestingly, if you look at some behaviours associated with Aspergers, you
could think that suffers actually believe their behaviour is "normal" or at
least justified by what they think has happened to them. Is this not a form
of confabulation?

One feature of Aspergers is the inability to interpret things. For example.
A "normal" pupil, if told to stop talking when he was perhaps interrupting a
class, would either ignore the instruction or comply with it but would
still, for example, answer a question put to him. An Aspergers sufferer
could well refuse to answer questions and, if asked why give a "version"
which suggested he was only following instructions (when he decided to speak
again). He could well then compose a perfectly logical (to him)
interpretation to justify his actions. This is, often, the greatest
challenge in teaching Aspergers sufferers- ensuring that instructions are
clear to the nth degree. Even suggesting that homework could be done at
lunch time or anywhere other than at home can be an issue.
Likewise, a casual remark made to an Aspergers sufferer (of the type which
would be ignored by a non-sufferer) could cause considerable distress even
to the point of leading to a violent response. This tends to lead to the
social problems sufferers have with peers.
Like most of these things, there are degrees of seriousness and not everyone
displays every trait.
I'm not entirely convinced that the current trend to labelling sufferers
with "syndromes" is a good idea. I'm sure there are extreme cases of many
"syndromes" which warrant a special label (and attention) but equally
sometimes the symptoms are what, at one time, would have been simply bad
behaviour or, in things like dyslexia, required suitable remedial teaching.
Either way, those who display the symptoms need help to overcome them or
things will simply get worse. If the problems are learning related, the
sufferer won't magically "catch up" in adult life and may well end up at the
low end of the employment "food chain". Equally, it the problems have a
social interaction slant, sufferers will continue to have problems in adult
life and, in some cases, this will result in mental health problems (I
mentioned some research on this several months back- as I recall it was a
Canadian Uni. report).

In the UK, qualified teachers are required to be aware of thing like
Aspergers, their symptoms, impact on learning and the learning environment,
strategies to overcome problems etc. It is a legal requirement that this is
so- see the 2001 Act, I'm sure you could find it on the net. Were it
discovered, for example in an OFSTED inspection, that a school or teacher
had failed to follow the required procedures (inc. refresher training of
staff, ensuring that staff know of SEN status and agreed strategies etc.)
they would "have a problem". The classroom teacher will often be the first
to recognise a pattern of behaviour which may indicate the presence of such
a syndrome. They would then feed their concerns into the system for a more
detailed review to be initiated. The classroom teacher is in the "front row"
in dealing such things.
If you take the trouble to visit some websites (or may be enquire elsewhere)
you will see nothing I have ever posted on the topic of Aspergers is at
variance with current thinking on the matter.
Moreover, I'm involved in some research which, while not directly related to
Aspergers, falls within the SEN spectrum and thus has some common strands.
Plus, I try to keep abreast of latest thinking / research associated with my
profession.
So, yes I claim some authoritive knowledge of the topic.
Would you care to enlighten us on your expertise in the area of Aspergers,
after all you raised the topic recently and seem to mention it a lot in your
posts.

Not according to Ofcom:
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/ifi/licensing/classes/business_radio/information/ofw57/
"You may use the following accessories with PMR 446 :
* external microphones, including VOX type microphones;
* earphones, headphones and external loudspeakers; and
* DC power sockets, charge sockets and battery packs."
I see no mention of a computer interface there.

"You may only use PMR446 for the purposes described in The Wireless
Telegraphy Exemption Regulations and IR 2009. You may not, for example,
connect PMR 446 radios to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)

Special Measures means the school has been judged inadequate by OFSTED
following an inspection. I'm pretty sure the process is invoked after a
failure to respond to a notice to improve from a previous inspection.
A letter should have been sent to parents reporting the details and the
plans to recover the situation.
Generally the Head and Governors are removed (or resign) and an interim
Head is appointed. There is a scheme whereby the school is linked to an
appointed National Support School- these are flagship schools judged
consistently as Outstanding (the top rung on the OFSTED scale of
Outstanding, Good, Satisfactory, Inadequate). The support school offers a
range of support- eg school management expertise, teaching expertise,
........to get the failing school up and running. Extra money (often from
things like academy schemes) are made available - this goes to training,
extra payments to attract good staff (a school on the road to special
measures typically has staff shortages), etc.
After things improve, the special measures order is lifted and (hopefully)
things continue to improve. Schools at this end of the scale are subjected
to more intense inspections until they get to the Good or Outstanding end of
the scale.
The OFSTED report isn't secret so your son and d-i-l can read it- often via
a link on the school website. There is an overall grade (OGSI- as above) and
a more detailed break down on the same scale.
The letter to parents is generally there as well. ("Letters home" sent via
pupils don't always make it.)
Without wishing to be trite, the problems at the school are now being
addressed so the worst is, hopefully, over. There will probably be some
obvious changes soon- things like tougher enforcement of uniform rules,
which may seem unimportant but the idea is to engender a sense of change.

Because its those who ask Ofcom, "Can I do this?", and "Can I do that"
who cause previously "blurred" boundaries to be defined. With Ofcom,
(an administration severely lacking in understanding of the subject
matter) the answer will always tend towards the restrictive. ie. "No".
I certainly don't advocate a cavalier attitude to all rule and
regulation, but some areas are vague, and best left that way.

You have no qualifications in the subject.
You have some training. which you probably got by sitting in a room
for afew hours listening to someone.
A classic example of ''a little knowledge is a dangerous thing''

A somewhat misleading summay of the current position, which is explained in
this email to, and reply from, the RA:
"Dear Sir / Madam.
I should like to bring to your attention the following web site, which
appears to be inviting members of the public to misuse PMR446 specification
radio
equipment by connecting it to a computer, thus providing internet linked
repeater facilities.
As the terms and conditions of the PMR446 license expressly forbid
connecting the radio to the PSTN, they must be in breach of the PMR446
allowable use
regulations, or at the very least bending them."
"Thank you for your e-mail.
I am advised that the original license exemption regulations (the means by
which license exempt status is confirmed) did not permit PMR 446 to be
connected to the PSTN.
However, these regulations have been superceded by Interface Requirement
2009 which carries no such restriction. Consequently, PMR 446 connection to
the PSTN does not constitute a breach of regulations.
Sincerely,
Jason Simons

Being retired with not much to do I've spent a few hours looking at
your claims. I've googled loads of postings made by lucifer and Walt
but not found any of them claiming any "inside expertise"
I have found Lucifer claiming to be a Civil Servant or as he said an
Un-Civil Servant and Walt mentioned working in Science museum and as a
band roadie. but Neither of them mention having a �350 law book or
being unemployed plane cleaners.
Also found lots of post,s made by you and claiming all sort of
expertise yet you seem to be just a junior school teacher and going by
the adverts on the telly the goverment recruits most teachers from the
ranks of unemployed so how were you unemployed if you have all the
expertise your forever claiming ?

You do seem to be.

I've never been a fan of his books but his story featured on the radio some
time back and he came across as very decent and brave man.

Don't be dense, the complaint and the response were sent some time ago
before Ofcom took over, however the legislation and the IR have not changed
since.
That is why there are still 446 gateways running, some of whom have had
visits from Ofcom to check that compliant equipment was in use. Apparently
in one case Ofcom in their wisdom decided that a handheld without batteries
running from a mains charger was not compliant. Put batteries in and it was
OK!!
