You asked:

Sorry, Tom, but the answer is no. See part 97.107. The use of reciprocal 
call signs in the US is restricted to persons who do not already hold an 
FCC license and who are citizens of the country that issued the foreign 
callsign.

For the interest of any Canadian hams reading this, the situation in Canada 
is exactly parallel.
