Paul has been applying for an older callsign which requires a manual application process in place of the faster on-line system.
As a result of his efforts OfCom have confirmed that they will be issuing him the callsign of G4PDC (that’s dah-dah-dit di-di-di-di-dah di-dah-dah-dit dah-di-dit dah-di-dah-dit for those who speak Morse!)
There is a remaining administrative loophole involving payment to be jumped though before the callsign is live, I believe, but hopefully before Christmas Paul should be on air with his new callsign.
