RSGB Affiliated Club Newsletters

The RSGB send a monthly newsletter to all affiliated clubs, for onward distribution to club members.

(It appears that everything that is included in these newsletters is also in "Radcom". These newsletters are always emailed to club secretaries around the same date as RSGB members receive their Radcom, so we’ve realised that they are of little use to anyone who is already a member of the RSGB. However, as they may be of interest to non-RSGB members we will continue to put them on our website every month.)

The Newsletters are in PDF format, and can be found on a separate page: RSGB Affiliated Club Newsletters Archive
