Other problems: It would violate FCC rules (97.119c) stating that appended call modifiers must not be in conflict with any call sign prefixes assigned to other countries.
And if you did conflict with another country's prefix, what would that mean? WS7L/OK is normally taken to mean that I'm operating from the Czech Republic, not Oklahoma. The old practice of signing with your current call district as in K0ABC/7 is is still often used. My knowledge of international call signe assignments is not sufficient for me to assure you beyond doubt that it complies with the letter of the law (groan!) but in practice I don't think they'll be busting anyone for it. 73, Carl WS7L -----Original Message----- > It is a shame that although the practice of issuing callsigns by the call area has > gone by the wayside, that the practice of adding the state after the call does not > become standard practice such as KB7MBI / WA.
