In which case the logging programmes are WRONG!

/M has NEVER ever been a legal suffix to indicate a station is in England

M/ is legally required PREFIX (and only prefix) for vistors to England 
operating under CEPT

England, and other countries of the UK , have never had "call areas" so a 
numeral, however desirable for the logging programmes shortcomings is not 
required, is not legal to use either!

This really is a fuss about nothing

1 - the OPERATOR should be in charge of his staion not the computer

2 - there were 2 stations using M/ calls I saw spotted over the weekend.  It 
takes less than 30 seconds using DXBase to add these as full callsign maps.

One of those is really operating illegally as the use of M/ is intended to 
be a short term visitor (maybe CEPT says 1 month?) and he has lived in 
England for a number of years.  Maybe he really does go home each month a 
reset the clock?

The M/ or /M for the most part most logging programs consider this to be 
England "G".
