[CQ-Contest] WPX rules and portable locators

[rjairam at gmail.com]

They are called “indicators” and covered by 97.119(c)

(c) One or more indicators may be included with the call sign. Each
indicator must be separated from the call sign by the slant mark (/) or by
any suitable word that denotes the slant mark. If an indicator is
self-assigned, it must be included before, after, or both before and after,
the call sign. No self-assigned indicator may conflict with any other
indicator specified by the FCC Rules or with any prefix assigned to another
country.


So I can do something like N2RJ/140 or N2RJ/NNJ

I cannot do N2RJ/KP4 or N2RJ/P5 unless I’m actually in those places.
