Surrendering of Callsigns

Comment: I don’t mind surrendering my M6INI callsign, (I never had an Intermediate 2E callsign), but for those who for example hold their own callsign in addition to a silent key parent, but also want to continue to hold and use a silent key callsign of that parent as well as their own, will now be forced to chose under this new arrangement which to surrender as only one personal callsign is allowed.  So if both parents are now silent key, you now have to chose between Mum or Dad, sadly.

Update to Tango Mike DX Group

A little update to my Tango Mike CB callsign and the TM DX Group’s directory listing.

I moved from Lancashire to Shropshire in 2013, but, I forgot to inform the Tango Mike registrar of the move, so the directory entry for me, 26TM998 no longer reflected my QTH and so needed updating.

Today, I kindly heard back from Simon, G7UFS, that the entry has been updated.

Many thanks Simon.

Here is the Tango Mike directory listing for England.
