Points taken and well made!  I am a fully paid up member as I quite =
enjoy
Radcom and the cost isn=92t much different than other radio mags.  =
Didn=92t know
they'd sold the tower, that was a result and I did know Bletchely had =
opened
(eventually, but they have had other pressing issues to fend off!)

I shall retract my harsh comments in this case!  :-)

A bit harsh Jim. The tower was sold a year ago at what it was bought=20
for. Bletchley opened last weekend and is budgeted for, admittedly a=20
bit over initial budgets.

Remember if it weren't for the RSGB we certainly wouldn't have any of=20
our current LF allocations. Several members of the society (one of=20
which is now on the interim board) were the key players in negotiations=20
on this with IARU.

And nobody else has commented, RSGB subs are =A347 with direct debit.=20
Fairly similar to other organisations of similar size.
