[UK-CONTEST] Short Contest calls

[Rob Harrison]

Hi Clive & Roger,

Sorry Clive I must be thick, can you be more specific please?

No problem with CW Roger, I only wish I'd have learned it when I was first 
licenced. I'd have many more squares on VHF too.

My Receiving is improving, sending is another matter entirely, hi.

Bob

>> Hi All,
>> It is now 16 years since short calls were first made available. To
>> date 33 individual and a total of about 180 calls have been issued out of
>> 520 available.
>> Is it not now well overdue  that we now  be allowed to use these
>> callsigns in ANY Contest. Listening on the bands in any smaller contests
>> shows the regular use in other Countries of short calls.
>> I am sure that Ofcom would be open to such a request, and it should
>> be routine for the CC to encourage their use in in Many of  their
>> Contests.
>> I cannot see the point of holding a contest call that you cannot use
>> in any Contest.
