Does anyone remember the little "spat" we had on here a while ago when
the UK Radio Society (UKRS) were shocked to discover we sometimes used
the letters UKRS to describe uk.rec.scuba ?

Well we can all sleep easy now as the other UKRS has folded !

KeithL, you can remove the link on the UKRS web site now !

FYI - There is another thriving UKRS - uk.rec.scouting...

But, I don't suppose they mind.

Well, I suppose we had better keep a lookout for when ukrs.org.uk becomes
available, we've (I've) got most of the set now ;-)

Actually the days when having a small hand-held in

That's not one of mine. That's the three
channel box on the hill above me.

But answering the question....
about a dozen including the ones my brother uses.
