+## Leaving the Austrian Amateur Radio League
+
+{{< alert >}}
+**This is an update written in February 2023**
+{{< /alert >}}
+
+_I am no member of the Austrian Amateur Radio League since the end of 2022._
+
+As per requirement of the club I sent the letter via Austrian Post as a
+registered letter (I also get notified when the letter is marked as delivered).
+
+The letter has been brought to the post office on 14 October 2022, and finally
+delivered on 18 October 2022. I wanted a confirmation (which I stated in the
+letter) but I got none (not until today, 12 February 2023).
+
+As of today, I can only assume it was read (and understood) which (I guess)
+makes a confirmation unnecessary (as of today). A confirmation would have been
+nice and I thought normal people do that anyway (but I also left a notice in
+the letter).
+
+I find this behavior unprofessional and also a bit pathetic. I've held more on
+the club before, but just ignoring people is not something that I can support
+easily.
+
+People often do not show their real faces when you encounter them for the first
+time, but as always: time will tell.
