Hi Dave,
 
Long time no see. Hope all is well.
 
The WPX Rules say the following,
"A station operating from a DXCC country different from that indicated by  
its call sign is required to sign portable."

Bill,

If I recall correctly, it wasn't all that long ago  that the WPX contest 
required the "portable" identifier, which was logical  since it in 
essence modifies your call sign, which provides the multiplier  credit in 
that contest.

I'm not sure whether that requirement is  still in place or not. WPX 
might have been the last holdout :-)
