I now remember an earlier email exchange on that subject. And I do agree with your caution in not straying from the purpose of the grant. I suppose the same argument could be made from elsewhere. Has anyone plumbed the depths of U.K. officialdom on the subject of communicating with non-Amateur services? Or is it best just to leave such things alone? The problem is actually not with making the 2-way contact; it is with the resulting publicity! If such news were confined to a small group of experimenters, nothing would probably come from it.
