[CQ-Contest] WPX rules and portable locators

[giwagner at k5kg.com]

Here is my understanding about the use of portable locators and foreign call
signs:

1,) Operating from my home country, or any of its possessions, I would sign
my call sign followed by the "/".  Examples: K5KG/4, K5KG/KP2, K5KG/KH6.

2.) Operating from outside my home country, but still using my home country
call sign, I would sign the foreign entity prefix followed by "/K5KG".
Examples: PJ4/K5KG, LU/K5KG, 3B8/K5KG.

3.) Operating from outside my home country, but with the call sign issued to
me by that foreign entity.  Examples:  J75KG, VP2MKG, JY8GW.

The rules are pretty clear and using KP4???/KT6 is perfectly fine.  I
believe I could use WP2AA/KK4 if I was my NC home last weekend. I recall
having a KH6???/7 call me. I am guessing that he meant portable W7 and not
KH7 but we'll let the WPX committee handle this.

There was one op, a KP4 signing his call/KT6.

>From what I understand you either sign /6 or /W6. The KT6 counted as a
multiplier in WPX but I am wondering if it is valid or if it will be
removed.

What are your thoughts?
