    Currently, with the exception of a list of callsigns held by Ofcom some
    of which are considered rude or are reserved for historical reasons,
    people have been able to get hold of all sorts of out of sequence
    callsigns that old hands would regard as a variant of grave-robbing, but
    other people have no such compunction. Those of us licensed for the best
    part of 50 years tend not to like this, but we do not have the final
    say. I don't know which callsigns are being issued new these days if one
    does not specify or request a callsign, but I have a suspicion that G is
    a far more popular country prefix than M for some reason đŸ˜›

    callsigns - but for amateurs (in those cases where there WAS a letter
    prefix), for decades G was used for the UK.

    Although the M has a strong provenance, when they 'ran out of Gs', I'm
    sure that many amateurs (who had no option but to take M callsigns)
    would have preferred the traditional G.

    However, now that OFCOM have released the previously unallocated Gs, one
    of my locals (who rapidly progressed from FL through IL, and then to
    Full) was delighted to be allowed to get an unallocated G5+3 call. [At
    least it wasn't a 'reallocated' callsign, which he definitely didn't
    want.]

    One thing that I think is a real pity is the ruling that overseas
    visitors to the UK are obliged to use an 'M stroke' callsign, and not
    having the choice of a 'G stroke'. I'm sure that most would prefer the
    latter!
