[ADXA] I'm clueless on this one - callsign/P (So what else is new?)

[Joel Harrison]

At the moment I’m sitting with the President of Radio Amateurs of Canada and IARU President Tim Ellam who is VE6SH. I asked them, specifically with respect to the Canadian stations, and they have no clue other than to note a “Portable” operation away from one’s “home grid” and the /P is just to indicate they are operating away from their home grid.

Other than that, we have no clue!!!

It might be some sort of secret contest, but I can't find any information at all.  When I look them up on QRZ, it refers me to their main page with no mention of why the /P.
