[UK-CONTEST] Short UK Contest Callsigns

[Chris Tran]

Hi Jurij

The UK Special Contest Callsigns can be used in *most* of the WW contests 
i.e. the CQ sponsored events.

I can't see why you could not sign GM4A/p if you wished, however since we 
are required to send location info to your local OFCOM office for every 
occasion that the SCC is used, this negates the need to sign /P unless you 
wish to.  Correct me if I am out-of-date with the OFCOM notification info.

For example at the weekend we were GM2T in the 2m Trophy Contest, not 
GM2T/p.  The disadvantage of this is that the Super Check Partial of e.g. 
WinTest takes a 'guess' at your locator, which this weekend was different 
from previous GM2T 2m entries, so you get other operators quoting an old 
locator to you if they are not copying you too well.

It is maybe time to review the range of contests that the SCCs can be used 
in ?
