There is no such regulatory requirement, but there is a general practice of
doing so, especially in contests where provinces and territories count as
multipliers. There are a few depraved souls out there who hold call signs
from rare call areas and use them from more common areas without signing
portable. Thankfully, these ignorant, selfish bastards are very few in
number in this country. They are even less numerous than the craven fools
who use e-mail queries to clean up their logs post-contest.
