Barry:
I think this is a complete non-issue, it appears
it is trivial to fix:

Subject: [RTTY] Another reason NOT to sign "portable"
Besides not being portable, but being at your permanent QTH,
Besides the US not having call areas any longer, except for the
purposes of FCC issuing a new, sequential callsign,
If you intend to use LOTW for awards, a callsign with a portable
designator is not the same as the home callsign.
For example, if Bob uploaded his log to LOTW signed as N4HY, and then
for some strange reason signed N4HY/2 from his home QTH during a
contest, anyone trying to e-confirm a QSO with N4HY/2 will come up
empty.
I suggest being consistent. Sign your call one way or the other. If
you want to use a portable designator from home, use it all the time.
If not, don't use it at all (you're not portable, you're home).
