>Can anyone help me with QSL route to M1M? Worked last night on 1831 at 0449Z.

The previous reply, whilst correct, was not as helpful as it might have
been.

The series of calls beginning M is issued to the United Kingdom.

Stations M0xxx are regular HF calls and M1xxx are VHF only calls. A
letter following the M identifies the country within UK, eg MM is
Scotland (like GM) etc.

The 1x1 M (and G) calls are special contest only calls.  The non-English
(Scotland, Wales etc) calls are 2x1 with the country letter after the M
or G.  All of these calls currently have the number 6 (for 1996) so you
could not have worked M1M.  (This situation is under review and may
possibly change from Jan 1997).
