Not true. US Amateurs in Japan are no longer assigned "KA#xx" callsigns. They
get their licenses from the Japanese government now (with callsigns in the
"foreigners" block "8J#xxx" IIRC).

However, the US Navy does issue callsigns to amateurs at Antarctic Bases (ie,
KC4AAA, KC4AAC) and Guantanamo Bay (ie, KG4ML, KG4OX).
