You were using a prefix from the same country or DX entity ... so no problem.  KH6 operating from Ohio represents a different DX entity. WR8AA is the same country/entity as the U.S. 3rd call district.

The rule says, "The portable prefix must be an authorized prefix of the country/call area of operation."  It goes on, "KH6XXX operating from Ohio must use an authorized prefix for the U.S. 8th district (/W8, /AD8, etc.)".

Does this mean that my use of the callsign WR8AA from the third call area without a /3 suffix will be disqualified? There were certainly few to no US stations in WPX signing "/#"to denote their actual call area. In fact, I logged exactly one in over 1100 QSOs.
