Correction (just in case it might be useful for the future),

D-Star spec is 7 caracters for the callsign, right padded with space for 
shorter callsigns (i.e. "%-7s") followed by the module letter. The latter 
is always in 8th position, but not necessarily preceeded with a space. 
(And a space added in 9th position to conform to the APRS spec.)
