You would feel right at home here then. My mail usually arrives between 11:30 and 12:30. It largely depends, of course, on how far down the postie's walk one's box is. The end of the walk can be anywhen up to about 14:00 - which has the advantage that I can sometimes catch him if I have missed a parcel delivery.

I was just wondering if any overseas members have received their newsletter yet?

Vol. 37 No.3 arrived here on the 21st April. Why to Oz such a long delay?

I don't suppose any decisions were reached at the convention r.e. a soft-format version, at least for the likes of Gary...

Thanks Steve, it's variable but this one seems to be very late... I fear something may have gone wrong.

Harry, if you read this can you let me know if you have received yours please? If so I'll have to contact someone in the club (not sure who though).

Cheers.

I would suggest Jeremy, he seems to be the one who deals with the printers/baggers/posters.

Gary i got the newsletter a week or 2 ago so does not sound good !
The electromagnetic spectrum has no theoretical limit at either end. If all the mass/energy in the Universe is considered a 'limit', then that would be the only real theoretical limit to the maximum frequency attainable.

Ok, cheers, thanks for that - I think it may have been sent to my old address, I was fairly sure the last one came here, but I had my redirection going then so...
