Does anyone know of a program that allows you to put in a country name and
get the various ham prefixs that go with it? I sometimes see a new country
is going to be up but the operators are going to use a non-listed prefix and
I'd like to be able to find out from my logging program whether I've worked
them or not.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by a non-listed prefix. Any prefix
they use would have to be from that country's ITU allocation.

If there isn't a computer program, you could just do a quick search
for the country name in the allocations list on ARRL's website.

Your logging program likely has a file that is attached to it somewhere
that lists the prefixes and the country it belongs too.

Let me check program or two.. YPLog had a countries.tab file, it
contains the info but you'd need to import it into a spreadsheet and
work on it a bit before you could use it

But just type the call into the log and it will tell you what country if
you want to go that way..

Thanks, but I want to go the other way. I want to put in a country and get
the prefixes. I'm using Logger 32.

THere's a list in a page of the ARRL Logbook that shows the country
and then the prefixes that it is allowed to use. But of course that
isn't a computer program.

If the Countries file for your logger is a comma or tab seperated data
file you can import into a spread sheet and basically "TURN IT AROUND"

then you load the spread sheet, search for the country and instant
prefix data
