<div>Quanto a confusões de prefixos não acontecem só por cá.</div>
<div>E também não são só por França mas também Bélgica, Alemanha, USA, ex-URSS para além do Liechtenstein (que é um estado independente) atribuído no conjunto de prefixos à Suiça ou a Ordem de Malta e Spratly que são "Unofficial prefix" etc etc.</div>

<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>
