My wife doesn't believe I'm mobile when I'm sitting still <smile>

I've heard conflicting things, so I'd like to see what the consensus is

here.



Since my rig is mounted in my car, I've been told I should say "mobile" when

ever I attempt a QSO. Some of the reasoning is that others will understand

my "limitations" and try to work me. On occasion, this seems to have been

the case.



Others have told me that I should only use "mobile" when the vehicle is

actually in motion.



What say you all?
