[UK-CONTEST] OT: RSGB move and QSL bureau - closure?

[G3RIR]

Those who think that QSL bureaux is the most important reason for their
membership of RSGB should I believe stop and think how many of the amateur
bands would still exist if it were not for the work of the RSGB with the RA
(now Ofcom) and at the spectrum conferences. 

There wouldn't even be a need for a QSL bureaux if we lost our amateur
bands.

Neil, G3RIR

Member RGSB since 1962 and a regular user of the QSL bureaux but more
importantly a regular user of the 80,40,30,20,17,15,10,2,70cm bands.

I also noticed the 'non-mention' of the QSO buro service.  I simply assumed 
that it would transfer with the new RSGB HQ.  As a QSL sub-manager, I have 
not been advised otherwise.
