It would appear I live in the real one!

What goes on in Gi is a fair reflection on what is happening in the rest
of the UK as I said complaints to Ofcom number in their thousands, be
assured they aren't all emanating from Gi! I can but assume that you 
either don't hear/don't want to hear what is happening or perhaps you 
believe all this is normal?! During the last tropo opening
when I could hear FL's from over large parts of Scotland and England
there was little if any difference between 2m and CB. Aside from a few 
highly skilled contesters and DX'ers standards in the UK are at an all 
time low. Rather perversely we have a number of MI3's here, serious 
MI3's who will be an asset to the hobby complaining about the 3 tier 
system and stating a preference for the old style RAE + morse way of 
doing things! Your failure to address the issues I raised is duly noted.
