[UK-CONTEST] IARU HF and GB7HQ

[Colin]

Ed,

Not sidelined but bogged down in Ofcom's PC legal department.

Apparently the issuing of 'special' callsigns to Full Licencees only 
would disadvantage those holding other classes of licences.   There are 
times when I feel like throwing myself off the balconies at Ofcom!

Discussions continue.
