[UK-CONTEST] Short contest call failure (G3RXQ)

[Gavin Taylor GM0GAV]

I received a rejection as well this morning. That was for including 
GB7HQ in the application, I didn't interpret OFW286 as stating that it 
had to be single operator with your own callsign.

Oh well, at this rate there will not be much chance of running out of  
1x1 callsigns :-)
