Topband: QRP Question

[Jan Erik Holm]

Yes really. FCC does not rule the world and in this case
FCC is wrong.

Country designator is put before the callsign. This changed
way back in the 1970´ties

Not to confuse things if I go to England and work mobile
I could sign G3/SM2EKM/m or M3/SM2EKM/m, plain and simple
and not confusing.

Not to waist any more BW I will now QSY to a different QRG.
