[UK-CONTEST] UK Contest Calls and QRZ.com

[Darren Hatcher]

As another option instead of Google or QRZ, how about:
http://www.ik3qar.it/manager/ ? This site seems to do better than QRZ by
showing QSL manager call signs (by year) for the list below except for G2R,
GM4A, M4W, G0D.  

Any others out there?

I recall the same problem as Andy when I went to add M4U in the past.
However given other comments on here in this thread I will try to add it
again later.
