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????

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 |
