+ On the Air: Ofcom to Issue Special Temporary Call Signs for Royal Wedding

Ofcom is issuing special temporary call signs to British amateurs to 
commemorate the April 29 nuptials of HRH Prince William of Wales and 
Miss Catherine Middleton.

If you are a prefix hunter -- or you just get caught up in the 
pageantry that a <http://www.officialroyalwedding2011.org/>Royal 
Wedding can bring -- then take note: Ofcom, at the request of the 
Radio Society of Great Britain (<http://www.rsgb.org/>RSGB), will 
issue special temporary call signs that British amateurs may use from 
April 29 through May 9, 2011, commemorating the marriage of HRH 
Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton. Amateurs in the 
United Kingdom who choose to apply for these special call signs will 
be using GR, MR and 2R prefixes during this time to commemorate the wedding.
