Utilizing this facility, he maintained communication with three other 'hams' scattered across the globe. Through this modest network of distant friends, he had managed to endure his existence as a serf in what had become a rigidly partitioned Britain. However, his circumstances were about to take a drastic turn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe people of this overcrowded country were facing an imminent threat of starvation due to overpopulation, ignorance, and a refusal to confront the harsh reality of their situation. For Sidney, who resided in the southern part of the country, near the partition line, this meant that a wave of desperate 'northerners' was soon to descend upon him, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, as they sought refuge in the south in search of food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was the story of Sidney's desperate quest to save himself, albeit not solely through his own resources. With the help of an unlikely new friend, he embarked on a perilous journey that would test the limits of his resilience and ingenuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 498g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 197 x 130 x 36 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781805142454\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Fletcher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45276712730874,"sku":"9781805142454","price":7.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1709315608333_book.jpg?v=1709452380","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-radio-ham-9781805142454","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
