Hi George, thanks for your email, I am certainly planning to re join RAC, I
have been inactive for the last 6 or more years so with retirement am happy
to join as I always enjoyed the association. thanks for your tips but think
I will skip the digital and stay with ssb and cw, can't risk the mk v with
no repair facility available unless you know one by any chance?? Hope we
can work sometime, vy 73 Rick ve1rnm
