[Elecraft] [OT] Mobile/Portable gray zone

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

The FeeCee no longer cares about this technicality.  If forced to choose, I’d probably sign mobile if I  were using my mobile rig and mobile ant, moving or parked.  If I were using my car to hold up a mast and a beam on a grassy spot — portable.

Which begs the question — are you still “MM" if your boat is tied up to a pier?

If I pull over and operate with my mobile setup I am still mobile? If I set up a temporary mast that is supported by the car or near the car am I then portable?  Just making sure I use the right suffix for the right situation! Thanks!
