[CQ-Contest] Portable in Canada

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Except, Charles, the 1953 reciprocal treaty with Canada specifies that US
amateurs operating Canada & Canadian amateurs operating in the US MUST sign
call/portable designator.

That has nothing to do with what the ARRL says.  That's what the treaty
says.  

And that IS old practice, since back in the day, that is the way most if not
all stations operating portable in another jurisdiction signed.  Signing
prefix/call as is now accepted is a relatively modern practice.

I'm not sure where the comment about the DXCC or LotW records come from.  As
far as I know, DXCC goes by the portable designator regardless of whether
it's before or after the call.  Logbook of the World accepts the log as
inputted by the user.  So if I were to, say, upload HS/K4VUD, and you were
to upload as K4VUD/HS, I would not expect them to automatically match.  

73, ron w3wn

Note all..... that regardless of ARRL or other nations, usa fcc says correct
portable designation comes BEFORE the licensed callsign...........
like XX9/K4VUD.              Against old practice, I know, but true.
Now if only LOTW and DXCC records would always agree with this fcc usage!

There is no legal HS/K4VUD...nope.

73, legal HS0ZCW.... now allowed 6meters and more of 80m for contests.
