Re: OFCOM start issuing M5 Calls again....
No M5 calls are for full licence calls Not foundation. The article is about a guy who passed all 3 levels and requested an M5 call.Crusader wrote: ↑26 Sep 2018, 11:10MrWeetabix wrote: ↑21 Sep 2018, 09:07 Apparently after 17 years, they are now issuing M5 calls again.

So BigPimp will still be held in reverence for his special callsign

Re: OFCOM start issuing M5 Calls again....
Possibly, M7 would be a logical choice, but since when has Ofcom or any previous administarion service been logical
