Thanks for the URL. As I will be visiting the Seattle region soon
this comes in quite handy. /W7 it is.

The interesting thing though is that Canadian amateur licenses no
longer expire. Does that mean they are now invalid for use in the
U.S.A.? smile

I'd try to avoid using the word 'portable' if I were you. I've heard the
'Portable 5' suffix used a few times by overseas hams in the US - these
sometimes get put on the cluster as XXXX/P5 and set all the cluster alarms
off . I think your safest bet is to use /W7.

(P5 is the prefix for North Korea)

Apologies if this is a bit off-topic, but figured you guys might know
this.

My call is G7TMG and I now live permanently in the US but haven't got
around
to taking the US test yet and want to get on the air using my UK call.

I believe I should use W7/G7TMG (or is it G7TMG/W7?) but do I need to
state
the "/" as portable if I live here full time?
Also, I presume that my UK HF privileges are no good in the US due to no
morse test???

Any info appreciated.

Sholto.
