Although the FCC site indicates that the suffix goes after your call, I doubt you would get into trouble putting it first, as that has become an international standard recently (CEPT regulations specify this, as well as the use of the word "stroke"). I see where CEPT no longer lists two classes of privileges (except for a few countries), so you would probably be legal under CEPT as well as under the reciprocal agreement. Where in 7-land are you located? I am near Seattle. 73, Bob N7XY I found this from the ARRL site (http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/reg...ns/io/#foreign) "No additional permit is required -- simply bring your original license, issued by your home country when you visit the US; and be sure to identify your station while operating by the US call district identifier (e.g., followed by your non-US call sign.W3/G1ABC)." So the ARRL say it should be a prefix and the FCC say a suffix??? sounds like these guys need to talk to each other... I think the FCC site is somewhat dated. Seattle is a very nice city, we've been there a few times. The XYL loves Pike St. Market. QTH is Coeur d'Alene, ID. Love living here too. Used to live in the Lake District, UK and that is a great destination if you ever make it to "Blighty". Been there (1982). Very nice and quiet. I'm on Bainbridge Island, 9 mi. west of Seattle. Here's another quandry I find myself in: I can't operate on amateur HF bands here without a CW test but I can operate HF on marine frequencies - I also hold the GMDSS general licence for which I didn't have to pass a CW test and is valid anywhere in the world! LOL make sense of that one. As I interpret both the FCC site and the latest CEPT regulations, if the UK allows you to operate on the amateur HF bands without a code test, you can do that here also (which surprised me a bit).
