Well said Chris !,
2006 or not some fanciers would/will still struggle to find justyifing (spelling) the cost of the systems, that is why these grants are available to apply for, it can't be a bad thing otherwise your then going to turn the sport into one of those which " those who have money can use the system, and those who don't will never know, i think that's what it comes down too basically, maybe i'm simplifiying it a bit too much but take away the lottery grants and some fanciers will never be given the chance to use the ets and then make up there minds whether it's for them or not, my own idea is that once it's tried it probably is better all round, i don't know as i use a clock, i certainly would'nt knock anybody else for using it, as has been said before many times the pigeons still have to come for you whether you have a clock or the ets system.
