No, you just click on the link and there they are. There's some pictures
and a couple of text files.

There are some oddities with the way that Dropbox serves up stuff. For
example, if you're using the Firefox browser and you click on a Microsoft
Word document, then Dropbox will intercept the request and serve up some
HTML code containing a PDF document, because Firefox can read PDFs
natively but not Word documents. So Dropbox tries to be clever and
helpful, but I can see how that could upset non-standard browsers and
text-to-speech systems.

I read through it last night, they make good use of VHF for television
and he says some services even now are being moved from UHF to VHF, a
luxury we gave up decades ago. I wonder if the move is to free up
parts of UHF for you know what?

Makes you think. VHF DTT would have its problems, but on the other
hand nobody wants a 4 ft telescopic on their smartphone.

The people in the second photo obviously haven't got a clue what they're
doing.

You're supposed to cut round the middle of the tread and leave the
bottom half of the tyre on the rim so that it makes a base for the
planter with the tread giving a kind of "Aztec" effect.

Cheers,

Colin.

They use a mixture of VHF Band III and UHF to transmit DTT in Finland.
There's a couple of other countries that use VHF too, but I can't remember
who.

I've mucked around with Finnish DTT reception on VHF using a 'rabbit ears'
aerial inside an OB Truck garage. Works very well !
