No, they understand that may move a lot. *HOWEVER* even the most
mobile don't move around the country at the speed of light. They
don't make one contact from Maine followed by a contact from Washington
State, followed by a contact from Coastal Carolina, follow by a contact
from Southern California depending on the best path to the DX.
Even if someone could afford to build competent stations in each of
those locations, they could not physically be in more than one place
a day (approximately).
"Dialing for DX" is not amateur radio!!!

OK. I have a DXCC award on my wall. It is from Los Gatos, CW. It's
showing 185 mixed confirmed in my logbook. I moved to NH in 2019. My NH
log shows 106 mixed confirmed. (I keep separate logs for NH and CA
contacts.) It's a bit hard to get the union of the two logs, but the
results will be higher than 185 due to the ease of EU contacts. (I
think, if I've done my uploads to Clublog correctly, they have the
correct count.) My only answer to all the questions about the situation
is to fall back on the DXCC rules which say that all these contacts count.
I really don't think the amateur radio community has wrapped its mind
around the fact that many of us move around the country a lot.

Jim, I agree, rental hopping for the purposes of DXCC or similar, is
equally immoral and as such, should be banned from such awards. Use
your own, a club or a friends station WHILE physically there if your
morality reaches that far. Mine doesn't; I've used other stations and
entered into THEIR log, not mine (the station is not mine, simple).
