The FCC required it prior to 1979. It was required by some contests up
through the early 1980's and I seem to recall there was one that required it
as late as the early 1990's. Which contests had the requirement has faded
from my memory. I was thinking CQWW and SS had the requirement but I could
be wrong.

If there ever was a CQWW rule that required signing /0, it predates my
move to Colorado in 1981.
I'm sure there is ---some--- contest out of the 250+ contests that
requires signing /0, but none of the major contests impose that requirement.

When I first lived in Colorado, in the '90s, I had the call AA6TT. As a

the
rules required me to do so.
I'm now back living and hamming in Colorado with a non-zero call AA7XT
(long story). I checked CQ WW rules today to see if would have to sign /0
in that contest and I didn't see any rules concerning portable calls. Did
CQ drop this rule?
Are there any contests that will require me to sign /0?
