Quote:Personally, I suggest that RASA and the WIA can co-exist even if it does divide the attention from ACMA to the two bodies, and also think that it is probably worthwhile being involved in (/members of) both provided the organisations address matters of interest and importance to the Australian Radio Amateur. Of course, one would hope they are both pushing for identical outcomes.
