The structure of an amateur call is: Country code: One letter may be preceeded by a letter or digit, i.e., may be one letter, two letters or digit then letter. Some countries, notably America, have more than one such code, which may indicate different operator classes. State code: One digit. Personal group: Two or three letters. Possibly one. The first of these is often a class denotation e.g. here in Australia, "two letter" calls and infixes "A" to "E" are unlimited, "N" and "M" are novices, "Z", "Y" and "X" are limited, "L" are novice + limited, "R" are fixed (unmanned) repeater stations, and various others. In NZ, "T" calls are limited ("Technician" - rude, isn't it?). Some temporary or special event codes are also used, some of which do not follow this pattern at all! Someone may care to post the URL for the search engine. Cheers, Paul B.
