[UK-CONTEST] Individual Short Contest Callsigns

[Michael Ruttenberg]

There's also the "who has the callsign now" ID question.

If we (M0B) "lose" our callsign and then someone else takes it over, are we
obliged to release it from QRZ.com or (for example) eQSL, LOTW etc?

***Practical suggestion***
Can I suggest that the existing shortcall holders for clubs be frozen and
that the new system gets applied going forward for the benefit of
individuals.

Or am I banging my head against an already-closed door? Looks like the rules
are a fait-accompli. If only the holders of shortcalls for clubs had been
consulted... :(
