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 :-(

I was going to join the other day, after entering one of their 6m
contests, but was shocked to see the sub is £51. Would have joined
there and then if it had been more like £25.
Locally we have also over the years had many problems with the RSGB
over repeater licences. For instance, some of their requirements for
our ATV repeater could not be met - they were only suitable for 'phone
repeaters - and the endless delays...
