==============================================
Not only did we have to change our callsigns if we moved, we had to show our
call area when portable and notify the engineer in charge in the area we
operated portable  prior to going on the air.  And we had to monitor
CONALRAD in case WW3 broke out during the QSO.  And log all on the air
activity to justify renewal of our licences.  This was in the late 50's.
