Hi there Charles and all,
    was just curious below where you mentioned that receiving the
broadcasted power
from the lines is illegal, is this for reel? I would have thought that
any power they were
putting out into the either was discarded and therefore up for grab's.
Allternatively if they
wanted to go to court  shorly mentioning entrapy somewhere in your
defense would get
you of the hook?
    Regard's
