   Admission to RSGBTech is supposed to be a formality, according to the   
   RSGB, but look what turned up - so your honeyed words hardly reflect the   
   state of play in some areas at least.   
      
   The registration process for DSTAR is regretfully an opportunity for   
   Little Hitlers to come out and play - not that I'm saying any involved   
   in the process are in fact playing Littler Hitlers, but the opportunity   
   is there - and it wouldn't be the first time that systems in the AR   
   field of endeavour have been compromised in this way.

   "RSGBTech is meant for everyone", or so the RSGB says. The group is   
   moderated 'to   
   ensure that the questions are on topic', but the group's own admissions   
   policy mention   
   (a pre-) 'vet', 'known', 'trouble', and 'maker', but not the vetting   
   policy! None of these are   
   'moderation' issues and none are mentioned in the RSGB's Guidelines.....
