Thanks guys for all the suggestions which I will follow up and hopefully can
resolve next week. I did include my name and c/s when attempting to register
so I wonder what has gone wrong.
USA has been a tough call from here in the ARRL 10M contest. Florida apart I
have managed only 3 States, all east coast, hope tomorrow is better out that
way. Good rates for EU & Asia earlier but the band died pretty much at 15.00
local time (13.00z) when the band is barely open Stateside.

Hello Brian,
please contact Steve KG6HJU (steve_wilson@yahoo.com) and ask for help. He is
one of the moderators of that group. I had the very same problem, as my name
and callsign have been dropped by the buggy Yahoo system during the approval
process. So they had no clue if I was an ham radio operator or some kind of
spam bot. Steve helped me and approved by 2nd subscription.
