Hi, I am currently writing a long article about the history of ham radio for my website (growing...). Can someone tell me who : - What committee or association assigned the first prefix to callsigns in the middle of 1920's, ITC (future ITU) ? - On what base (I suppose location) US stations were assigned A, K, N or W letters and who decided for the other countries ? - Who currently manage these prefixes at a worldwide scale ? ITU-R (ex CCIR) ? Thanks in advance Thierry, ON4SKY http://www.astrosurf.com/lombry |
You can get confirmation and a great History of radio at URL:

W and K prefixes. I'll stand to corrected but my recollection is that a further partition existed within the USA in the 50s and earlier. W was issued to stations, at least commercial stations, East of the Mississippi and K was issued to station west of the Mississippi!! Any confirmation????

Hi, I didn't checked all texts, but it seems that all users were assigned a call under the responsibility of ITC (ITU) and national authority, including ships, coastal stations, amateurs, and military, thus the air force too (if I remember well what I read) in publications released in 1905-1912 (see maybe be the Radio act 1912).
