IMPORTANT NOTICES
1. Due to the high volume of requests to change callsigns our priority will be new callsigns. Changes to callsigns will be processed as the team is able to get to them and we would ask for your understanding if there is a delay.
2. We are currently amending our systems and forms for the new 2 x 1 callsign template (e.g. VK1Z). We will advise when we are ready to issue these callsigns.
