[UK-CONTEST] Draft of new licence

[Mark Marsden]

Hi Colin et al

Good work from the RSGB and Dave G3UEG, well done.

I would like the new licence to enable me to to use my own callsign from
someone elses fixed station in a contest. 

Hence to be able to pre-inform OFCOM of the 24/48 hour operation, and
then use my call sans /anything to speed up the exchange. (Just like the
special contest calls).


73, Mark G4AXX

Agree, and that was suggested during our discussions.

as per Clause 10(6), interested point - reverse engineering!   I'll
check.

There is a Ofcom/RSGB meeting scheduled for July 11th and BR68 is of 
course on the agenda.   I am led to believe we can still make minor 
changes, correct typos, omissions, obvious mistakes etc.   Please let me

have your polite and positive comments before July 10th.

All I can say is - ongoing.
