A tool for working with ITU call sign prefixes (e.g., to determine which country likely issued a given call sign).

hamkit.itu

[!NOTE]
hamkit.itu is a small standalone component of hamkit. You can use it by itself (see below) if ITU prefix functionality is all that you need. Alternatively, install the entire collection of HamKit modules with pip install hamkit.

A simple library to work with ITU call sign prefixes

pip install hamkit-itu

call_sign_to_country

To determine which country likely issued a call sign, you can do:

from hamkit.itu import call_sign_to_country

print(call_sign_to_country("KK7CMT"))

which will output:

ITU_Prefix(prefix='K', country_name='United States', country_code='US')

country_to_prefixes

Likewise, to determine which prefixes a country may use, you can do:

from hamkit.itu import country_to_prefixes

print(country_to_prefixes("US"))

which will output:

[
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AA', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AB', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AC', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AD', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AE', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AF', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AG', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AH', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AI', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AJ', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AK', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='AL', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='K', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='N', country_name='United States', country_code='US'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='W', country_name='United States', country_code='US')
]

prefix_to_countries

Likewise, to determine which countries might correspond to a given prefix, do:

from hamkit.itu import prefix_to_countries

print(prefix_to_countries("HB"))

which will produce:

[
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='HB3Y', country_name='Liechtenstein', country_code='LI'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='HB0', country_name='Liechtenstein', country_code='LI'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='HBL', country_name='Liechtenstein', country_code='LI'),
    ITU_Prefix(prefix='HB', country_name='Switzerland', country_code='CH')
]
