Seems to me that this is answered in the rules. Note the LAST sentence below.
If I cannot sign KR2Q/100 (which the FCC allows but apparently the WPX rules do
not),
it would seem to be obvious (logical?) that you cannot sign "/NV4" either.
Personally, I think WPX has more than enough PX's to go around and seems like
nearly every
other QSO (or maybe even 8 out of 10) are PX mults anyway. It sure would be
fun to
let everybody pick their px. Many guys use a "funny" px call anyway, and not
their own call.

(a) A PREFIX is the letter/numeral combination which forms the first part of
the amateur call.
Examples: N8, W8, WD8, HG1, HG19, KC2, OE2, OE25, etc. Any difference in the
numbering,
lettering, or order of same shall constitute a separate prefix. A station
operating from a DXCC
country different from that indicated by its callsign is required to sign
portable. The portable
prefix must be an authorized prefix of the country/call area of operation. In
cases of portable
operation, the portable designator will then become the prefix. Example: N8BJQ
operating from
Wake Island would sign N8BJQ/KH9 or N8BJQ/NH9. KH6XXX operating from Ohio must
use an
authorized prefix for the U.S. 8th district (W8, K8, etc.). Portable
designators without numbers
will be assigned a zero (Ø) after the second letter of the portable designator
to form the prefix.
Example: PA/N8BJQ would become PAØ. All calls without numbers will be assigned
a zero (Ø)
after the first two letters to form the prefix. Example: XEFTJW would count as
XEØ. Maritime
mobile, mobile, /A, /E, /J, /P, or interim license class identifiers do not
count as prefixes. You may not make up your own prefix.
