[UK-CONTEST] Draft of new licence

[F.G.Robertson]

Likewise, first I've heard of the special Club Callsign prefixes being
removed, and first I've heard of them being abused.

Our club also has lots of GX QSL cards.

Any chance this could be put forward for reconsideration please Colin.
In this day and age clubs need any promotion help they can get.

Hi all

Just back from preparations for GB5HQ this coming weekend - hope you
will 
work us on 160m SSB and 40m SSB (and as many other band/modes as
possible)

I am disappointed that the have been 
removed - seemingly without wide consultation - our club callsign GS2MP 
always attracted a lot of attention on the air and our QSL manager now
has 
several thousand useless QSL cards !

If the 'greetings message' privilege was being abused, why not just
remove 
that ?  I'm sure many other clubs will be dismayed at the sudden loss of

their special club prefix. I don't agree that they were 'confusing' -
more 
like 'distinctive and interesting'.
