So here's a dumb question -- how does the software know? If the
portable designation can come before or after the callsign -- how can
we tell which is which?
If the (now SK) King of Jordan were to come to connecticut and sign
JY1/W1 or W1/JY1 -- how could we tell which is which, programmatically?
This is a puzzle that has perplexed me for years.
