The Radio Communications Agency of the UK Has agreed the UK Stations may use
short calls during major Contests such as the ARRL, CQWW, IOTA and a few
more. The system will be administered by RSGB HF Contest Committee.
It is likely that the first calls will be allocated by 1 May 1996.
So look out for GM6A, GI6B, GJ6C, GW6D and so on. It is also
likely that calls in the M series will also be on offer, such as
M6A (England) MM6B (Scotland) MI6C (Ireland) MW6D Wales
MJ6F Jersey and so on, so please dont keep asking GM6A for his suffix -
thats it. Short calls for UK Contesters has eventually arrived......
