That's a good question. I looked through my database. I didn't find any callsigns that signed simply "/P" from the "other" zone, for example, VK2XYZ/P in Perth (VK6). The Australians are pretty good about signing /# (like VK2XYZ/6) unlike hams in Spain and Russia (and the USA for that matter) where there is no such requirement. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, https://ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
