I OTOH can assure you that adding "/#" does not violate the
applicable FCC Rule because on an international basis single
numerals are not the prefix of any country nor are they
assignable as such in the foreseeable future, in contrast with
the two-alpha US/Canada state/province abbreviations which are
in violation. That area of the law is "my business".
