If you move across a call district line, you either apply for a call
in
that district, or you are obligated to sign "portable", "stroke",
"mobile", etc
that call district.


Been there, done that, and have the litany of call signs to prove it.
In fact, used to be that you needed to NOTIFY the FCC if you were going
to operate away from your assigned station location, and periodically
renew that notification. Some of just got an additional station
callsign if we were going to spend time at another location. Once had a
station license with my now-mother-in-laws address because I spent so
much time there courting her daughter. Saved having to sign "KG6AQI/W0"
and sending those pesky notices to Washington.

FCC finally figured out it was unnecessary regulation for their
purposes, and discontinued the requirement.

There are both enforcement and "good operating practice"
issues therein.


No there aren't.

Each licensee is required to have a current mailing address on file at
FCC. One reason, I presume, is in case they need to "enforce".

"Good operating practice"? --- that's just a control-freak way of saying
"I want to know exactly where you are, regardless of what the FCC
wants".
