The editor of the RAFARS Journal QRV invites members to submit material for the Spring and Autumn editions. The Journal is your Society magazine and is widely read by the membership. There is no need to write 'War and Peace' and the editor is more than happy to provide advice and guidance where required. If you have any questions regarding submission, please contact Stan G6HHP via email at QRV@rafars.org
