Very simple.
After world war two, G3 calls were issued to English guys. The G3A three
letter series were issued to guys who had been radio operators in the war.
They were then issued in order until about 1970 or maybe 1971.
Mine, G3YXX, was issued in late 1969.
Having exhausted that range, the G4 series were issued starting at G4AAA.
Then, the G0 series.
In 2003 the whole licensing structure in the UK changed.
Those who had previously held a class B license (G8, G6, G6) were permitted
to use the HF bands with CW.
Since then it has become a bit more like the U S system of novice,
intermediate and advanced.
http://highfields-arc.co.uk/call/aboutcalls.htm
might be of help and interest.
At present you may hear people with the GV prefix.
This is for those who have applied for a notice of variation to celebrate
100 years of the radio society of great Britain. It will only be used until
31st July.

Hi Gary,
I have this receiver and use it successfully. Mine was
accidentally run ov=

(barely clipped by a car's rear wheel) by the previous owner. I
am
interested in hearing your assessment of the radio's performance
to
determine which problems are due to the previous abuse of the
radio and
which are due to any design weaknesses.

from the manual, looks to be fairly accessible.

Hey all,
I'm wondering if there are any portable shortwave receivers out
there =20=
that are relatively accessible, and that can receive cw.
Now that I've had my license for a couple weeks and have
familiarized =20=
myself with basic procedure, I'd like to get started studying
for =20
general. First though, I want to learn cw.
I've been doing cw training tapes I found online, as well as
using the =20=
g4fon cotch trainer, but what I'd really like is to be able to
listen =20=
to some code on the air, and copy that. I feel like that'd be
the =20
best practice, to actually use realtime, on air code.
I'd also like to see what kind of stuff I can pick up on the low
=20
frequencies where I live.
I don't even know how good a portable receiver like this would
be, as =20=
I know you have to have decent antennas to even be able to pick
up =20
most of this stuff.
Please forgive a stupid question from a total newbie, but
everybody's =20=
gotta start somewhere, eh?
I'd just really like to start listening to some code on air and
=20
copying it. Maybe this is also something I could do with
echolink.
Are there even shortwave stations you can pick up anymore?
=3D20
Thanks in advance for all the great advice I know will come.
This list is really great, and I look forward to actually being
able =20
to talk to some of you guys once my echolink approval goes
through.
