RSGB - 1 year subscription for £1.05
 

I guess I just wasted an 80 cent overseas airmail stamp, etc. since I
didn't use a "photocopy of the original" page. I'll be vacationing in
London and Blackpool this Summer, so maybe I'll look for an original
magazine while I'm there.

I have removed the scanned copy from my website, as they have now
(surprise, surprise!) announced that they will not accept scanned
images of the application form, nor applications by email, nor online
applications.

On 4 Jul 2003, the RSGB Website posted the following notice:

http://www.rsgb.org/shop/acatalog/RS...iea_Offer.html

[Yes, it's "Guniea" (sic)]

"During the month of July (only) the RSGB has introduced a new "member
to new member" scheme. ... To take advantage of the offer you will
need to complete the form on page 69 of July RadCom. We only accept
original RadCom pages or direct photocopies of the page (should you
not wish to damage the RadCom or if you are making multiple
applications) but we do not accept scans of the page (for example).
Applications are only accepted by post and should then be mailed
direct to the RSGB with the appropriate payment. Unfortunately due to
the nature of the offer we cannot accept e-mail or online
subscriptions"

So, do they want new members .... or don't they????

A mystery.

By the way, what is a "Ligger"?

A 'ligger' is person who is given to 'ligging'.
:-)

In the popular/rock music industry, 'ligging' is the practice of
getting oneself included on every 'guest list', obtaining 'back stage
passes' for every concert and contriving to gain admittance to all the
free parties and beanos organised by record companies to celebrate the
launch of a new album or the winning of a 'gold or platinum album'
award.

Most liggers are journalists in the music press, but there are many
hangers-on as well, with dubious credentials!

As well as free food and booze, sundry 'freebies' such as CDs,
T-shirts and tacky souvenirs are given away at such events.

HTH.

Hello,

I had an email from the RSGB telling me to use the form in the current
RADCOM - so I sent a reply asking "HOW" when i am not already a member of
the RSGB ?

Don't give up hope just yet, Larry. The Secretary of the
International Short Wave League telephoned the RSGB HQ on June 30,
before this latest notice was published, and during that phone call
they OK'd scanned copies, telephone applications and email
applications!

Sounds like they are making up the rules as they go along. (Or
