Any amateur radio operator detectors in here?

Always wanted to try it, but then there’s the phone !
It’s all changing and maybe not for the good. I drive a school bus. Today I reminded the middle schoolers that it was D Day. In unison “what’s that ! “

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Most kids in the UK have never heard of the Battle of Britain.

I'm old enough to have known several WWII veterans, including one who landed on Omaha beach. He said there weren't too many survivors ahead of him. I had several WWII veterans in my family. The only one who enlisted was the only one not to return alive. A friend of mine from a previous job was a kid during the blitz, and told me about the V1 attacks, and some of the disgusting stuff he had to eat during the shortages, with some especially unfond memories of whale meat.

It is disappointing to know how little history seems to be taught in public schools now.

Was ham radio still allowed during the war? I'm pretty sure it wasn't during WWI.

I guess if we live long enough this was bound to happen, but it still saddens me.
