Rad Com spelling mistake

My February 2018 RSGB "RadCom" arrived in the post today. Right on the front cover was a spelling mistake! Receiver it should have been! Reciever it was for all to see without unwrapping.

How can they make such a basic mistake? What about spell checking?  Honestly, it made my blood boil. I wrote to the editor there and then. Such a basic mistake is totally unacceptable in 2018. My excuse for errors is my addled brain. What is your excuse RSGB?

Well, anonymous, I wrote and got an immediate reply. In 2018 we deserve better! Personally, I would have fired the person responsible as soon as it happened for gross incompetence.

Hello Roger, How can they make such a basic mistake?
The answer is easy to find. It is NOT in the list:
