The easiest place I know of to find a chart of international radio call
letter prefixes is in the front pages of a copy of the "Radio Amateur's
Callbook", which is a telephone-book-like book you can probably find at
your local public library. There are U.S. and foreign versions, but either
will do for this purpose.

The US has all of K, W, N (e.g. the numbers on the sides of airplanes), and
AA-AL. Commercial broadcast stations use only K and W now, but the other
prefix letters are in use for ham, military, and other call signs.
