Individual callsigns - 2R, GR, MR, ZR
To celebrate the coronation of H. M. King Charles III on 2023-05-06, UK and Crown Dependency radio amateurs could apply to use a special temporary callsign during the period 00:00 2023-05-01 to 23:59 2023-06-30. Dates are British Summer Time (GMT+1). Successful applicants were issued with a Notice of Variation (NOV).
In addition, some stations from Gibraltar (ZB) were authorised to use the ZR prefix, in the same period.
Callsign format
The normal prefix of an individual callsign was replaced as follows:
- 2D, 2E, 2G, 2I, 2J, 2M, 2U, 2W prefix callsigns all used 2R prefixes.
- G, GD, GI, GJ, GM, GU, GW prefix callsigns all used GR prefixes.
- M, MD, MI, MJ, MM, MU, MW prefix callsigns all used MR prefixes.
The digit and suffix of all SES callsigns were the same as the licensee's normal callsign.
In addition, stations could sign /23C using their regular call.
Callsign mapping
From the above, it is clear that the DXCC entity of a station cannot be determined from the callsign. Club Log maps all the British callsigns to England, unless a callsign exception exists for the station. All ZR callsigns are mapped to Gibraltar, so callsign exceptions are not necessary for these stations.
