Umm, no?

From the class license:

11 Use of callsigns 
 (1) An amateur station must not be operated unless a qualified person operating 
the station identifies the station by use of the callsign, mentioned in 
subsection 6 (2), followed by the suffix VK

That's the document that the ACMA site says Overseas Amateurs must follow when operating here for less than 90 days ?

Regards,

Damien
