<b>Betreff:</b> Re: [Dxspider-support] /LH suffix in callsign resolved as NORWAY</div>
<div name="quoted-content">The reciprocal agreement between US and Canada requires that the<br/>
operator use a "portable" or SUFFIX of the country rather than a prefix.<br/>
This is in direct conflict with IARU rules that say to use a prefix, but<br/>
it was adopted LONG ago before there were standards.<br/>
