[UK-CONTEST] UK-Contest Digest, Vol 59, Issue 44

[Steve White]

I'd be interested in a personalised callsign. My preferred format would be 
MNLL (N=number, L=letter). At the risk of upsetting those who have managed 
to obtain short calls, as a mark of respect to the pioneers of radio I would 
not wish to see new GNLL-format calls issued.
