[Elecraft] Question re: callsign prefixes

[Ken Alexander]

This probably isn't the ideal place to be asking this, but since a number of 
you were also in CQWW this past weekend, maybe you'll indulge me this once 
as I stray off topic.  This is actually kind of embarassing...not good 
practice.

At 2128 UTC on Sunday I heard a guy calling CQ all alone on 14038.2.  He was 
blazing along at about 35 wpm, way past my capability to keep up in a 
regular QSO, and nobody was coming back to him.  For laughs, I cranked up 
the keyer speed on my KX1 and blasted my call at him.  He immediately called 
back (nailing my call the first time) and gave me 599 - 35....zone 35, west 
Africa!  I replied with 599 - 04 and he thanked me!

I spent the next 20 minutes listening to him on the KX1 and my AOR AR-7030+ 
and I still can't figure out his callsign!  To me it sounded like DV4TD, but 
the only part I'm 100% sure of is "4TD".  I'm not sure about the DV part.  
I'm struggling to find a good reference for callsign prefixes.  Any help 
would be appreciated.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program material...

Thanks and 73
