And that is the very clause which is wrongly worded. Fixed station 
section entrants MUST be allowed to operated from a different fixed 
location from the licence address, and affix a /A if they so wish to 
indicate (licence note (d)i). It is wrong to suggest these stations 
should be in the portable section and affix a /P when they are not 
operating portable (licence note (d)ii). Operation to the licence must 
take precedence over any contest rules.

It is worth pointing out of course that we no longer have a 'licence 
validation document' (was BR68).
