USA DXCC "K" Designator: was RE: [LOGic] DXCC K vs KP

Thu Feb 2 22:15:03 EST 2006

Hi Rich:

I'm not 100% sure of what you are asking about "W" and how it relates
to this topic.

Maybe this will help.
The USA is assigned a DXCC letter designation of "K" and a
numerical designation of "291" .

The USA is assigned call prefixes of A,K,N, and W; and all Alpha/Numeric
permutations of the first letter of the prefix, such as WA1, KL7, AA5, etc.
and therefor exist as valid calls under the DXCC "K" designator !!!

Here is a Table of call prefixes for the DXCC Entity ="K", OR ="291" OR the USA.

AAA-ALZ
KAA-KZZ
NAA-NZZ
WAA-WZZ

Rich, I hope this helps, if not I will try to confuse you more :-) !!!

If anyone takes exception to my explanation, PLEASE jump in on this !!!
