[UK-CONTEST] RSGB LOG INPUT

[Colin Wilson]

Hi

Just a little input to this although its not actually going to help!  When 
we were in Grenada last year my XYL was granted a J3 licence based on her M3 
UK licence.  They were very clear about where the J3 should be added to her 
M3 call and it was at the end not the beginning.  This needs to be uniformed 
around the World really as to where it should go, beginning or at the end of 
your call.  Until then however I guess we just have to move it to where ever 
the software progamme allows you to put it!
