From Don G0JWE
I contacted RIBI
about the 2009
Convention, They
are not involved
with the
organisation but
I have an email
address for the
chap
dealing with the
House of
Friendship. I'll
make contact and
see what the
score is. We
can then discuss
it at our AGM.
As you know I
have an offer of
a set from
Kenwood.
