The present system appears to penalize those who abide by the rules by
logging what was sent to them. I assume it does not penalize the rules
violator, such as KH6xx and others, who don't follow the identification
rule. In a perfect world, I'd think the station who does not identify in
accorance with the contest rule (although perhaps legally identifying
according to FCC or other governmental rules) would be "found out" and
disqualified, but those who made legal contact with the rule offender and
logged the information sent should be given credit for the contact and the
multiplier where the station was eventually determined to be located.

So, every W#xxx who is in Puerto Rico need not sign portable anything, but
if we want credit for a QSO and multiplier in certain contests, we must
artifically add /KP4 or /NP4 or /WP4 or /KP3 or ....? How do we know what
portable designator to use if the station doesn't use one? If we are to
get credit and log something that isn't being sent, I suggest we use the
"old standard" prefixes, such as KP4, KH6, KL7, W#, etc.
I'm happy to help in this area. I can always add these callsigns to the
country file, however, I have to know what the offending callsigns
are. Tom's list is a good start. Then the log checkers have to use a
RECENT country file for checking the logs. K2G was removed on 25 February
2003, well before the logs were scored.
