Hi, all.

To some, the answer to the following question may seem obvious, but based on 
some questions and responses I got while on my extended RV road trip last 
Summer, the answer may not be so clear.

What is the proper designator that I should be using with my call sign when 
traveling in the RV?

Originally, I had thought "mobile" or / M would be the best, since the RV is 
a vehicle, and whether stationary or moving, I'm using my mobile set-up.

However, while some agree with that designation, others have not, suggesting 
that when I'm stationary, as in being camped somewhere, I should use 
"portable" or /p as my designator.

Still others have said I need use no special designator at all.

I just happened to think of this question this morning, and would be 
interested in anyone's thoughts.

Thanks as always, and 73 from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ
