New callsigns

Not sure if this is a wind up, but got an e-mail about new callsigns, after the M3’s comes the M6’s,

The following is part copy e-mail.

Ofcom have announced that M6 series callsigns are now available for issue to Foundation licence applicants. This new prefix came into use on the morning of Tuesday 13 May. A few remaining M3 callsigns are still available,
Has anyone spoken to an M6 operator

In reply to M0SGB:
No wind up Steve… apparently they’ve been officially available since 13/5/08.
