DW vs CW differences
« on: November 25, 2010, 10:59:24 PM »
I have joined the CWOP back in September 2010. My call sign is DW4088. One thing I have always wanted to know is the differences between DWxxxx and CWxxxx prefixed stations. Like how do they decode call signs and designate them? What determinds that?
