Actually they are, Mal. Since we are no longer required to sign /m
or /p for mobile or portable, I can go anywhere in the CONUS and
legally call CQ signing my callsign, W4EF. Now if that particular
location happens to be the address of record for someone else
(say N7MAL), am I a guest operator at "N7MAL" or am I "W4EF/p"?
Show me what paragraph of part 97 clearly stipulates that one.
73 de Mike, W4EF..............
