The tower was sold a year ago at what it was bought for. Bletchley opened last weekend and is budgeted for, admittedly a bit over initial budgets. Remember if it weren't for the RSGB we certainly wouldn't have any of our current LF allocations. Several members of the society (one of which is now on the interim board) were the key players in negotiations on this with IARU. And nobody else has commented, RSGB subs are =A347 with direct debit. Fairly similar to other organisations of similar size. 73 Dave G3YMC On 2 Mar 2012 at 10:39, James Cowburn wrote: > I suspect any incremental cost in my membership due to "non-member > support" is minimal!
