There might be some good stuff in uk.radio.amateur too, and I'll have to
see if I can build a filter so that I can read that in MT-NewsWatcher,
minus of course things from a certain poster.


Alas, there is precious little useful or on-topic content posted to ukra.
Filtering out troublesome posters and threads will remove around 99% of all
messages.

Of course, this is a poor position for a newsgroup to be in and few, if
any, people are satisfied with the state of affairs. A proposal to create a
moderated uk.* ham group was put forward recently and is currently being
voted on. If you're interested, navigate to uk.net.news.config where you
will find the RFD and ensuing discussion thread(s), plus the CFV with
instructions on how to receive a ballot. Closing date is this Friday at
midnight GMT, so hurry if you wish to vote!
