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.

Among other things, this says:

Reciprocal operating authority is valid until the expiration date on the
alien's amateur service license. Reciprocal operation in a place where the
Amateur Radio Service is regulated by the FCC must comply with Part 97 of
the FCC's Rules and the International Telecommunication Union Radio
Regulations. Operator privileges are those authorized by the alien's
government, but do not exceed those of the FCC Amateur Extra Class operator.
