There has been much discussion over the weekend about the allocation of M7 callsigns by Ofcom. This is to let you know the latest.
It appears that the M6 series of callsigns is nearly exhausted, and as of mid-October 2018, Ofcom is now issuing M7 callsigns to new Foundation licencees.
Calls have been made to Ofcom to confirm that this is genuine, and the following links may be of use to anyone keen to check whether M7 is indeed the new callsign for Foundation:

Congratulations Gavin – how long between passing the test and getting your call sign?
Around 1 week mate. Passed Sunday had email from Ofcom Thursday
Hi Guys, passed foundation Friday. Did you get to choose your callsign?
Yeah you can choose whether you want to be allocated one or pick one yourself. You can try different ones and they tell you if they are available or not.
