Hi Dave,
Long time no see. Hope all is well.
The WPX Rules say the following,
"A station operating from a DXCC country different from that indicated by
its call sign is required to sign portable."

Bill,
If I recall correctly, it wasn't all that long ago that the WPX contest
required the "portable" identifier, which was logical since it in
essence modifies your call sign, which provides the multiplier credit in
that contest.
I'm not sure whether that requirement is still in place or not. WPX
might have been the last holdout :-)
