[ILQSO] Portable Operation

[Michael Johnson]

Some QSO Parties specify how they want the mobiles/portables to ID.  Most
don't.  We run mobile in the ILQP and the WIQP and neither have a rule.
Running mobile, we manage about 20 minutes per county so we are switching
fairly frequently.  We also work repeat stations quite a bit.  As such it
has been our practice to ID as CALLSIGN/COUNTY  (i.e. KA9FZR / LAKE).  I
should clarify that as a mobile we are operating exclusively CW.

This works pretty well for us.  The skimmers also pickup on it so it helps
to sort out the DUPE status for the logging software most folks are using.
