Colin, it's one thing showing tolerance for lack of amateur radio 
knowledge, I guess it is almost impossible to find good editorial staff 
with the experience and technical understanding that Mike G3XDV, Steve 
G3ZVW and Steve G4JVG had. Apart from "DXs," all the "faux pas" were 
down to poor editorial skills and therefore relate directly to the 
people to whom you refer. The AGM report was abysmal reporting, the 
mistakes elsewhere were basic grammar.

Give my regards to Erquy, along the north coast and Quimper on the south 
coast. Beaucoup de Fruit de Mer and plus du vin!!

As a result Radcom is basically put together by one person with amateur radio knowledge.   This is no mean feat considering some years ago there were eleven members of staff putting Radcom together.
