619: Droves of Jihadis

Amateur Radio and Social Etiquette in Japan

Adam Curry describes operating a mobile ham radio rig in Tokyo's Empress Park without official permits. While transmitting, he was approached by a police officer who was not concerned with the illegal radio activity but rather with Curry's "disrespectful" sitting posture on a park ledge. The segment explores Japanese social norms regarding walking while eating and loud cell phone usage.
