Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Mobile/Portable gray zone

My reading of the DXCC regs is that no contacts from a boat count for DXCC, even if the boat is in a harbor, tied to a dock, or floating on a lake entirely within the DXCC. So the snarky question is, does putting an antenna on a stand on the dock make it a portable operation the way an antenna
