[UK-CONTEST] Fwd: Re: [CDXC] 50110.0 ZB2/VA3ITA Calling CQ

[Stewart GM4AFF]

As far as I'm aware Gibralter don't actually issue callsigns with  
licences for transient operators. I have ZB2/GM4AFF and that's what's  
on the licence document. (Wish I could find it!)
So he may have a full and genuine ZB2 licence.
