Chile : Four prefixes - to better understand local callsigns -
-
CD Aspirant: CD followed by 4 numbers, ex: CD6416 (80,40 & 10 meters, max 100 w )
-
CA Novice: CA followed by 1 number and 3 letters (80,40,10 max 200 watts & 6 meters max 50 w )
-
CE General: CE followed by 1 number and 2 or 3 letters (All bands max HF1.2 Kw , max 6 m100 w )
-
XQ Superior: XQ followed by 1 number and 2 or 3 letters. ( All bands, same powers than General )
Indicated powers are for fixed HF and 6 meters. There's other regulations on mobiles stations and V-UHF powers
The number after CA, CE or XQ indicates the region in which the station is located ranked from North (1) to South (8). Number (9) is Antartic territories and (0) the Islands.
Thus, a CD ham should declare as an example : I am CD6416 / 8 in order to well locate him from abroad as his licence numbers dont have any relationship with his geographical position.
