- B Transmit their Canadian call sign, followed by "stroke," followed by the name of the country being visited
- C Transmit the visited country's prefix, followed by "stroke," followed by their Canadian call sign
- D Transmit their Canadian call sign, followed by "stroke," followed by the visited country's prefix

When operating abroad under CEPT rules, you must identify as a station located in the country you are visiting, not as a Canadian station temporarily there. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
