Why are there two sides? I would much prefer fellowship between all Hams. Why make the group a misery. I have been astounded from day one by the in fighting on this group. I expected more from an experimental group that requires, in the UK, a Special Research Permit. The SRP/NOV application needs more details for a successful application than "I want to talk to my mates on the key".
