Default Radio Communications Foundation (RCF) - is a confidence trick underway?

What I am unable to understand if the Vehicles are donated as is the Gear,
run by volunteers why does it cost thousands of pounds per year to run ?, It
seems strange. I have yet to see published figures anywhere regarding the
costings of GB4FUN old or new one, perhaps someone can point me in the
direction of this informed information on how they spend the dosh.

Well said - do they think that they can carry on conning
BadCon readers into a sense of self-importance when
names and callsigns of donors are published but without
then revealing details of where the money goes?

Don't tell me - I know - "commercial confidence" again!

Or should that read, "commercial confidence trick"?

WHY ARE THE RUNNING COSTS OF THE RCF TENS OF THOUSANDS?

***** If the RCF is independent of The Potty (as is falsely
claimed) why are details of the donors published AT ALL
in BadCon which is the house journal of a commercial
publishing company?

He's probably already cut and pasted it from another of his earlier rants
and is poised ready to post it as we speak....he's just got to rummage down
the back of the settee to find the appropriate stamp money... or do they
give deposits back on Meths bottles so he needs to empty the one he may or
may not be swigging from first??

Who knows.... who really cares... and who let him stay at home over Easter?

I see though that he has homed in on Brian again... trying to bribe him for
an apology... how low will the man stoop...

I think most gutters are about 4 - 6 inches.

You will find it to your advantage to take time to read me previous note to
you on this topic.

***** If the RCF is independent of The Potty (as is falsely
claimed)


You're taking the meaning of 'independent' out of context:

"The RCF is a charity set up by, but independent from, the Radio Society of
Great Britain."

Well, you'd better get on with it then. But before you do you'd be well
advised to discuss your concerns with the trustees as I suggested before.
Let us know how you get on, although I have the distinct feeling that you'll
forget all about it once you realise that there's nothing to this than your
own hot air.

As you profess to not being an RSGB member (although you still seem to be a
reader of RadCom) why do you care? Have you donated to the RCF?
