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!
