[WIQPmail] Mobile, etc.

[Jim Funk]

ILQP recognizes "Portable" and "Rover" categories as well.  Nothing "official" per either ARRL or FCC but not prohibited.

A "portable" is other than a home station and with operation permitted on county lines.  "Rover" is a portable that operates from more than one location.  May also be capable of operation when in motion but operation includes county lines.  "Mobile" is capable of operation while in motion but from only one county at a time.

One size does not fit all, but that's how we handle it down south (where the snow is deep and the groundhog has a price on his head....).

Mobile has gotten and award for only Mobile operation.

I have been mulling this over for many years. Giving Mobile stations and additional incentive.

That is If the highest calculated say Mobile Single Op score is higher than a Fixed Station highest score The Mobile station wins both awards.

The argument is that Fixed station is not Mobile. If a fixed station operates from another fixed location other than the fixed stations home location how should this be classified? Portable or Mobile? Neither one really is no longer recognized by the ARRL except Maritime and DX operations ever since the re-designations and definition by the FCC of the use of "/".

Referance:  * FCC Part **97**.119 Station identification and **

 97.11 Stations aboard ships or aircraft.
*

So it is difficult to come up with terms to use other than Fixed or Mobile.

Not sure if I cleared this up.
