Guideline: Activations Portable At thise page you will find Guidelines to use a portable callsign. Please refer to Definitions and Intentions for futher information. Portable activations (under operator's responsibility): Portable activities can be done at any time without asking permission to DXRC HQ, however we ask our members to check with the best suffix to be used if the activity takes place from an island. To read the island callsign guidelines click here. Please mind the following guidelines in order to secure the most appropriate prefix/suffix: 1. When outside your own DXCC country use PREFIX / HOMECALL, example 1/47DX002. 2. When active from an island use HOMECALL / ISLAND SUFFIX policy described in the Island Suffix Policy. On portable island activations from a different DXCC the callsign would be like 1/47DX002/VE045. On these occasions we recommend to use an activation callsign like 1DX/VE045, as this callsign is shorter and easier. Latest update: 12/08/2008 (vers.1.0) Back to Guidelines.
