I have added an option on the ADIF export screen to allow /M to be appended for mobile contacts. I think the /P is a bit more messy. a couple of years ago one of our members sent out a huge pile of cards and he had his call sign appended with /P5. Another question arose about DX, specifically Canada. How should these be reported in ADIF Dean Davis, N7XG -------- Original Message --------

In all but one of my matched qsos with mobiles, they used just their base callsigns. they do accept our cards and we DO believe that! It is possible to get two or three matches from state lines or tri-states. It is only neccessary for the fixed station to upload duplicate qsos at slightly different times (a minute difference works), else the records just overwrite each other. The mobile just does a separate upload for each state (which is normal), but again with the qsos at slightly different times. This gets more interesting with mobile to mobile tri-states, however. If he says mobile, I log /M. Likewise if he says portable, it is /P or if he says stoke 3 I log /3. Hopefully he has made a certifcate for the way he signs on the air. on where he indicates he is, that is determined by the certificate he used to sign the log...which means he would need multiple mobile or portable certificates for the state visited and signs with the right one. few, from various states they operated from. Also, have them from no CCN ops who signed their call and was recorded in that manner. home, let alone mobile or portable. position of ARRL is that you can't be in two places at the same time.
