[PaQSO] AA8QQ plans

   Maybe AA8QQ is referring to the official PAQ rules, which in fact states
that "...Mobile stations must be truly mobile.". True, there are many
contests out there that allow the "capable of moving" concept, but reading
the rules as they are promulgated by the sponsor, it would seem unlikely
that a mobile station could be a county line station, unless the road
happened to run along the county line...Jay N3DQU

My understanding is that A MOBILE station is CAPABLE of moving with the
antenna which is being used, i.e. a whip--it doesn't have to be in motion
while the
QSOs take place.
