[SCCC] ki6qdh / portable

[Glenn Rattmann]

Fred,
You are not required by FCC to sign portable-anything, or /mobile, 
ever.  So keep it simple and just use your normal callsign.

Regarding DXCC, you have only 'one account' with them in the 
contiguous states.  This means you can fly to Connecticut, visit a 
station there, use your own callsign (if the owner allows it), NOT 
sign portable-- and any new DXCC entity you might work from there 
counts for your KI6QDH record.  In the old days we had to work 
everything from the same call area for it to count, as I recall.

Back to your WPX operation-- I'm not an LOTW guy (yet).  In the 
specific case where you might go off to a rare grid and operate, then 
you might have to do some followup with LOTW if you wanted your 
non-standard grid to count for other people.  But this is WPX with a 
serial number exchange, and you're not doing this specifically to 
provide a rare grid, most likely, so it's a non-issue.
