Complete list of ham prefixes

This list contains all (or at least almost all) prefixes that can be heard on the radio amateur airwaves as of March 9, 2024.

The list has been collected and maintained for years. I hope it will be useful to many fellow radio amateurs. The names are in English. In my opinion, I have not translated them into Bulgarian or any other language.

At the time it reaches you, some of them may be inactive, others may be missing. The names of some geographic areas may also have changed. There are unofficial (even repeated) but generally accepted prefixes. In one sentence – I cannot guarantee completeness and absolute accuracy. Don’t let this cause negative emotions for you too. The world is dynamic!

Internet search engines will most likely help you find what you are looking for if it is not here.

I would hardly be able to maintain maximum accuracy without your help – any comments and criticisms would be appreciated!

73! Tony, LZ3AI

Most of Nunavut is in CQ Zone 2, as are all but three of Nunavut’s 20-odd Amateurs. The westernmost part of Nunavut lies in Zone 1. Akimiski Island and other islands in James Bay are part of Nunavut, but are in Zone 4. Note that all the islands in Hudson, James and Ungava Bays are part of Nunavut, no matter how close they are to the shorelines of Manitoba, Ontario or Quebec. ITU Zones are 2, 3, 4 and 75.

WAA-WZZ United States of America (Also AA thru AL, N, K, W)

The first one or two letters identify the country the station is licensed in.

The prefix letters used for stations in the United States are…
A (AA-AL), e.g., AC6V
K (KA-KZ), e.g., K6DX, KC6UQH
N (NA-NZ), e.g., N6KI
W (WA-WZ), e.g., W6AM

The number indicates the U.S. district of license. The U.S. is broken down into 10 regions (0-9). (NOTE: US Amateurs may keep their calls when moving to another district – so a W1 may in fact reside in California (W6)

The suffix (last one, two, or three letters) are unique.

Callsigns may reflect the license class, although many keep a lesser callsign when upgrading.
A 2-by-3 [two letters, a number, and three letters] callsign typically belongs to a Novice or Technician operator, e.g., KC6UQH. Also, some of the newer General operators have a 2-by-3 call.

A 1-by-3 callsign usually belongs to older Technician and General class operators. e.g., N6AEK. These callsigns were ‘used up’ in the sequential callsign system, so newer Tech and General operators are now receiving 2-by-3 calls.

A 2-by-2 call usually belongs to an Advanced or a newer Extra class operator. An Extra 2-by-2 usually starts with an ‘A’. e.g., AC6HZ. An Advanced 2-by-2 usually starts with a ‘K’, ‘N’, or ‘W’. e.g., KB5MU

A 1-by-2 or 2-by-1 call usually belongs to an older Extra class operator. e.g., N6ST, AC6V. When these sequential callsigns were ‘used up’, the Extra class operators started receiving 2-by-2 calls starting with the AA block.

A 1-by-1 callsign is very special. It is assigned to a special event station for a short period of time. They are not assigned to individual operators as their regular callsign. e.g., W0W See URL: 1X1 Calls.
