Beacon Calling from Stations abroad

For Stations which are not working from their home QTH , the country prefix is not shown in the Beacon list.

Example: I7/KJ4YBS shows in the Beacon list only as KJ4YBS. See appendix.

I consider this as quite confusing. The beacon list shows excellent S/N figures in Europe for an US Station. But in fact the station sits in Italy.

Would it be a possibility to include also temporary country Prefix as " IT7/ " in the Beacon Table?

Thanks for considering this case.

VARA allows to use CQFRAMES (which I also use for beacons using an SSID) for 7 characters callsign only.

This is why only after connection you can get the full callsign as VarAC does the full callsign exchange.

Basically, 8 character callsigns like special event are also not possible (like 4X4SPECIAL).
