Rule Change for Rover Entries in ARRL VHF Contests

The Awards Committee has changed the rules for Rover entries
starting with the 1993 ARRL June VHF QSO Party, to be held on June
12-14. The new definition for the Rover category is below.

Rover: One or two operators of a single station that moves among two
or more grid squares during the course of the contest, and making
contest contacts, using the same equipment and antennas at each
site, will be considered a rover. Rovers sign ''rover'' on phone and
/R on CW after their call sign. The intent of the Rover category
prohibits fixed station scores to be included with Rover operations;
stations may however, enter the Rover category with a separate log
for Rover activities. All Rovers are encouraged to adopt operating
practices that allow as many stations as possible to contact them.

This new change will be in effect in all ARRL VHF contests that
include a Rover category.
