Thanks everybody, Your replies haven been very helpful. After reading through them all I discovered it's best to stick with "stroke" in stead off "portable". I was lead to belive that portable was the better word because of what a Dutch ham living in the USA said to me the other day. He claimed the word "stroke" sounded silly, hence my confusion.
As David G4DMP showed in his reply, we are supposed to put the visited countries prefix before our own callsign. It's clearly stated in the CEPT license were he looked it up (why didn't I think of that...). This visit I will not be portable, in September during the IARU region 1 fieldday we will be. If all goes according to plan you will be able to hear us as OZ5GX/P (Oscar Zulu Five Golf Xray Portable). Thanks again for all the helpful replies, It's much appreciated. 73, Maarten PD2R ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
