Club station prefixes being used in error

The RSGB QSL Bureau is seeing an increase in the number cards for individual UK callsign holders mistakenly using the prefixes reserved for club stations, as shown on page 14 of the licence schedule.

What initially was just an isolated incident now appears to involve hundreds of stations, from time to time, mistakenly using the wrong prefix list, some from a fixed location but particularly when operating on holiday, in contests or at club events. Presumably hearing such use on the air is serving only to encourage others to do the same.

The correct identifiers for personal licence holders are shown on Page 4 of the licence schedule, section 2(2) and should always be used by individuals, whatever their circumstances.
