Re: IOMICA Website--What Happened?

I have been told on good authority the website was 'hit' about 500,000 times, nothing but amazing. In our club we are lucky to have a few younger members and the latest teenager who arrived to watch and show interest about 6 months ago has had his membership paid for by another member and has been g...

Re: Application for NCA Status from ISR

Re: New Country Joining IOMICA

Thanks Barry.

Re: Typical weight of a No 1 rig?
