What is the deadline for submission of an item to RadCom?
That depends! RadCom is fully planned roughly two or three months ahead, so an article of 1 or 2 pages or more, arriving unsolicited, is unlikely to appear in print for at least that length of time. An article that is expected for a specific issue should be sent in about 7 weeks before the cover date, e.g. by the end of the first week of March for the May issue. A short news item, for the news pages or ‘RSGB Matters’, can be submitted up to about the beginning of the month before the cover issue, e.g. 1 April for the May issue.
