Mike,

With apologies to UK readers, I am using this forum to survey non-UK
amateurs about the term "on a shoestring" which the RSGB may be using in
the title of a future project. I would like to know whether its UK meaning

"for

very little money" is widely understood around the world, especially in

the US

and Australia.

It's certainly a valid term in the northeast U.S., Mike. I suspect that it
would be OK for North America.
