[SD-User] Club Calls setup ?

[Mike Farmer]

Why not use the Clubs RSGB membership number which if memory serves me
correctly is on the RadCom address label. Then you have no need for yet
another list!! Maybe its my turn to half joke but the RSGB could introduce
an award for working Clubs by collecting the numbers. Just like train
spotting!!
