Hi Jeff,
I was the one who put up the post you refered to. I was of the same
understanding you were, but when I received the rules from info@arrl.org
(I don't have web access) the rule f regarding mobile outside the u.s.
had gotten truncated in a way the left only the phrase "Canada may be
worked for qso credit only." This confusion led to my question. I know
from the responses I received that more than one other person was confused
on the subject as well. Having re read the article in QST, I'm convinced
your understanding is the correct one.
cheers, Paul
