Boas.<div>Sei que é difícil, mas Portugal tem-se aplicado bastante nesta matéria.</div><div>O nosso sistema de indicativos está muito perto de alcançar os Franceses.</div><div>Na ultima legislação de-mos passos largos para a conquista do pódio dos países mais.... irregulares na atribuição de callsigns,</div>
<div>Desde os CT4's e CT1's e CT3's com classes mistério.</div><div>CT2, CU's ao barulho com a classificação para Açores.</div><div>CT5's que classe sinistra, aparecem nos 10m com Lincons e tal, muito raros dirão os DXrs estrangeiros.</div>
<div>CR's antigos e novos, os CR6 voltaram, já não são Angola, são vanity calls.</div><div>CS's que vêm ai, se vier algum.</div><div>CQ que uns são repetidores outros pessoas.</div><div>etc etc etc.</div><div><br>
</div><div>Estou convencido, que em breve seremos campeões.</div><div>Com um pouco mais de empenho e dedicação, chegaremos lá...</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>É que os Franceses, mesmo recorrendo a um ábacos de indentificação de prefixos, ainda se vai percebendo</div>
<div>o que são.</div><div>Aqui em Portugal, só a Maia ou o Alexandrino é que podem adivinhar a que corresponde um indicativo.</div><div><br></div><div>73's</div><div><br></div><div>Matias</div><div><br></div><div><br>

<h1>French amateur radio callsign confusuion </h1>
<p><font face="Verdana">Ever wondered how the French Call Sign system is derived ?
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>F1</strong> is an old call issued for only 144 MHz
and up but allowed in the HF bands since 2003.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>F2</strong> (two letter suffix) is an old call
sign issued between the 1950 and 1955's</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>F3</strong> (two letter suffix) is an old call
sign issued between the 30's and 40's</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>F4</strong> is an old FA1 or a regular without CW
on 144 until 2003 and on HF after 2003. (A licence without CW allows only
automatic CW, not manual)</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>F5</strong> is a regular full licence of the 1950s
(with a two letter suffix), or an old <strong>FB1</strong> (with a three letter
suffix) or a regular full licence from 99 to 2003</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>F6</strong> with a three letter suffix is a
regular full licence from between 1968 and 1998.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>F7</strong> with a two letter suffix, was issued
to an NATO member ham in France between 1949 and 1967</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>F8</strong> is an old licence from pre WW2 (with a
two letter suffix) or an old <strong>FB1</strong>, with CW certificate (with a
three letter suffix), of a new ham with a full CW licence issued after
2003.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><strong>F0</strong>xxx call signs (with three letter
suffixes) are novice licences for phone only on 144, 10 watts.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">F2, F3 or F9 are old call signs reissued to full new
licensees just after WW2.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">An <strong>F8K</strong>xx licence is issued to a Radio
Club.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Some National Ham Associations have call signs as
follows:</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">F6PTT - the National Postmen’s Association.<br>F8UFT - the
Union Française des Telegraphistes.<br>F8AFH - the French national Association
for Blind or Disabled Hams,</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">It is worthwhile knowing that the old F2, F3, F9 licences
never had a 3 letter suffix.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">For the overseas French territories, it's the same
mess.</font></p>
