KD3Y Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hello fellas, I worked a station this evening in Massachusetts and he appended /W1 to his call sign. What does that mean? I see his QRZ profile shows him in Portugal (CU5AL) so I'm guessing that means he's a licensed Portugese ham that's using his Portugese ham license in USA in some reciprocal agreement? I googled "/W1" but just got a lot of irrelevant stuff and a gazillion ham call signs containing "W1". Thanks, KD3Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator K3MRI Posted November 28, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 28, 2022 Maybe someone else can weigh in. The /W is a first for me. People usually use a '/' followed by a letter to indicate where they are transmitting from. “/P” for portable or on foot, “/M” for mobile, and sometimes “/MM” for maritime mobile and “/AM” for air mobile if transmitting from an aircraft. A W after the slash, like I said, is new to me. 😟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD3Y Posted December 3, 2022 Content Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) I finally found it on some obscure website. It means he has a portugese license but is operating from the US as a visitor under treaty. Edited December 3, 2022 by KD3Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
