[CQ-Contest] Different Location,

[Scott Monks]

Hi all; 

     My Mexican license is XE1/AA0AA and my U.S. license (obviously) is AA0AA.  I am not "portable" in Mexico--I can apply to have a portable station (i.e., 2 meters, etc.) but the license only permits operation from my home in Mexico.  It is sort of like the old two-part U.S. licenses with one being the operator's license and the other the station license.  It is probably the same with the VP9 license.
73,
Scott
