<DIV>Hi folks</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Welcome in France in 2011.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I confirm the obsolete situation here, we are not autorised to connect our equipment radio to internet and since many years, it's also true for experimental test, our national regulation say " NO".</DIV>
<DIV>This is the law.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, of course, there are few stations who are connected.</DIV>
<DIV>I hope this situation change next time.</DIV>
