Excerpt: The Baker Street robbery was a robbery of the safe deposit boxes at a branch of Lloyds Bank on the corner of Baker Street and Marylebone Road , London , on the night of 11 September 1971. The robbers had rented a leather goods shop named Le Sac, two doors down from the bank, and tunnelled a distance of approximately 50 feet (15 m) passing under the intervening Chicken Inn restaurant. To avoid being overheard they only dug during weekends. They used a thermal lance to try to break into the vault but ultimately had to use explosives. Robbery Robert Rowlands, a radio ham operator, overheard conversations between the robbers and their rooftop lookout at about 11 pm. He contacted police and tape recorded the conversations while the robbery was in progress, but there was insufficient information to identify which bank was being robbed. At 2 am a senior police officer alerted radio detector vans to track down the gang. Police checked the 750 banks within 10 miles of Mr Rowlands’ receiver, including the Baker Street bank. At the time, the thieves were still in the bank, but the police failed to realise the fact because the security door was still locked. The thieves got away with £1.5m cash (2008: £15.8m) and valuables from safety deposit boxes . The total haul was believed to be near £3m (2008: £31.7m). Aftermath The aftermath of the robbery has attained the status of an urban myth . It has often been |

Alone: The Man Who Braved the Vast Pacific–And Won $10.5 This is the incredible story of one heroic man’s battle against almost impossible odds, a tale of pain and anguish, of bravery and utter solitude, a tale that ends in his victory not only over the enemy – the implacable ocean – but also over himself. Gerard d’Aboville was forty-five years old when he set out on his improbable mission: to row across the Pacific Ocean, from west to east, from Japan to the United States. He had already rowed across the Atlantic, from Cape Cod to the port of Brest, France. But that had been ten years before, when he was in the prime of life. Still, the nagging challenge of the Pacific – twice as vast as the Atlantic and several times as dangerous – would not be denied. His rowboat, the Sector, was 26 feet long. The ocean was 6,200 miles wide. His watertight living compartment, a scant 31 inches high, contained a bunk, a one-burner stove, a ham radio, and a telex (both powered by solar panels). Fresh water came from two desalination pumps. After months of meticulous and often frustrating preparations, d’Aboville set out from Choshi, Japan, in mid-July, already several weeks behind schedule. He rowed ten to twelve hours a day – an average of 7,000 strokes per day – battled headwinds that pushed him backward or made him stand still (once for a full two weeks), cyclones with 100-miles-per-hour winds, and 40-foot waves that hit him like cannonballs and sent him hurtling into troughs 30 feet deep. His boat capsized more than thirty times; once he was trapped inside his hermetic cabin, upside down, for almost two hours, with the oxygen almost depleted, before he managed to right the boat. Finally, 134 days after his departure, he came ashore at the littlefishing village of Ilwaco, Washington. He was bruised and battered – and weighed thirty-seven pounds less – but truly unbowed. I have chosen the ocean as my field of confrontation, my field of battle , writes d’Aboville, because the ocean is reality at its toughest, its most demanding. As |

Amateur Radio $50.99 Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants, called “hams,” use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.

An estimated six million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio.

Amateur Radio In India $42.99 Amateur radio or ham radio is practised by more than 16,000 licensed users in India. The first amateur radio operator was licensed in 1921, and by the mid-1930s, there were around 20 amateur radio operators in India. Amateur radio operators played an important part in the Indian independence movement with the establishment of illegal pro-independence radio stations in the 1940s. The three decades after India’s independence saw only slow growth in the numbers of operators until the then Prime Minister of India and amateur radio operator, Rajiv Gandhi (VU2RG), waived the import duty on wireless equipment in 1984. Since then, numbers have picked up, and as of 2007[update], there were more than 16,000 operators in the country. Amateur radio operators have played a vital role during disasters and national emergencies such as earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, floods, and bomb blasts, by providing voluntary emergency communications in the affected areas. The Wireless and Planning and Coordination Wing (WPC)-a division of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology-regulates amateur radio in India. |

Truth revealed about ham radio
Ham Radio – Passion for Communication
Ham radio has a long and important history. As society and technology continue to move on to new things, a small segment continues to enjoy the hobby as well as to educate and help during disasters.
WHAT IS HAM RADIO?
Ham radio is the the term coined for amateur radio enthusiasts who learn to operate radios as a hobby or for practical use. Hams – as operators are called – can use various methods for transmitting messages including Morse code via telegraph, voice transmission via radio or messages through a computer. New methods of transmitting television allow for images to be received around the world by hams. Some hams have contributed to the development of new technologies for other uses.
The term ‘ham’ has unknown origin although there are several theories.
WHO USES HAM RADIO?
Ham radio operators can be anyone – doctors, homemakers, truck drivers – who enjoys communicating with new friends. Hams can talk across town or around the world.
Ham radio was used by the military in the World Wars and by ships. The well known ‘SOS’ is just one of the codes that operators use to relay messages to one another.
In emergencies ham radio operators volunteer to assist with transmitting messages when normal communications are unavailable.
So far, we’ve uncovered some interesting facts about ham radio. You may decide that the following information is even more interesting.
Hams are all over the world – even in space! While in orbit or on the space station astronauts have spoken with other operators as well as children, teachers and parents. The program is called ARISS, Amateur Radio on the International Space Station.
Hams are young and old, men and women and of every background and occupation.

In the United States you must obtain a license from the FCC (Federal Communications Commission).
To be licensed by the FCC you must pass an exam. The exam is administered by a volunteer ham operator and you are then mailed your license. You can often find websites or groups where you can locate a tutor who will answer questions or offer instruction before you take your exam. One such resource is the ARRL website. The ARRL is the National Association for Amateur Radio and provides training and resources for getting started as well as updates and news for the ham radio community.
HOW MANY HAMS ARE THERE?
The ARRL site claims over 170,000 members. FCC licenses have been issued to over 600,000 individuals in the United States and there are over 3,000,000 hams in Japan and many more throughout the world according to statistics found at ah0a-Site.
With so many people to talk to, there are even competitions to see how far away you can transmit and many other events within the community.
The day will come when you can use something you read about here to have a beneficial impact. Then you’ll be glad you took the time to learn more about ham radio.

Can ham radio interfere with a wireless printer signal?
Recently, I have had issues sending from my laptop to my wireless printer. My wireless internet connection has not had any problems.
At the same time, my next door neighbor was telling me he has taken up ham radio. Is it possible that his ham radio is interfering with my ability to print?
I will assume that you are using 2.4 GHz wifi for your printer connection. It’s possible, but unlikely. Now, if he is using a lot of power (500 watts or more) and the wifi receivers in your laptop or printer are crap, that might be the most probable scenario. It’s more likely that your neighbors, including the ham are also using wifi and they are interfering. Try changing your wifi channel, 1, 6 and 11 are good choices. You should have software that IDs other users and their channels around you.
If you ask nice, your ham neighbor will help determine if he’s interfering with you. Hams are obligated to a limit to do that.
