I suspect any incremental cost in my membership due to "non-member support"
is minimal!  Most will be going on undoing the current fiscal mess the
society is in, sorting out Bletchley and trying to sell that bloody tower
they bought!

I don't imagine there's a lot of real money spent on negotiations, other
than a quick trip from Bedford to London on Thameslink, a tube ride and a
coffee.

Chris, I'll fund you mate!

Bear in mind, Chris, the rest of us are subsidising you and other UK
radio amateurs who are non members of the National Society. Negotiations
with Ofcom, IARU Region 1 and the ITU (WRC2012, etc) do come at a cost
and we're paying it for you :-(
