[amsat-bb] Re: "Mobile" Operation

[Kelly Martin]

/M if you're not driving the car but the car is moving (presumably
being driven by someone else).  /P if the car is parked.  If you are
operating while driving, and are near water, you might unexpectedly
become /MM, and if you're near a cliff, you might briefly get to
operate /AM.

The FCC dropped modal suffixes some time ago, and these are no longer
required in FCC-land, although I think there are some residual
situations that /MM and /AM are still required by treaty if not by
regulation, even in FCC-land.
