Rover Rules Adopted
 
Today, the ARRL Awards Committee voted unanimously to accept a
recommendation to modify rover category rules for the January VHF
Sweepstakes, June VHF QSO Party and September VHF QSO Party.  The
new rules, proposed by W3EP, are as follows:
 
Rule 1 (C) Rover:  A rover consists of one or two operators of a
single station that moves among two or more grid locators during the
contest.  A rover vehicle may transport only one station using a
single call sign; thus a rover may not operate with multiple call
signs under the family rule 7 (C).  Rover vehicles must transport
all the equipment, power supplies, and antennas used at each
operating site.  This rule is not intended to prevent an operator
from using the same call sign to submit separate logs for
single-operator (fixed station) and rover-class entries.  Rovers add
''rover'' on phone and /R on CW after their call signs.
 
Rule 4 (D) Rovers only: The total rover score is the sum of the
scores made from each grid locator.  Submit separate logs for each
grid where operating sites were established and score them
individually, as explained in paragraphs (A)-(C) above.  Then add
the scores from each grid on the summary sheet for the total rover
score.  Rovers are listed in the published contest results under the
division from which the highest aggregate score was made.  For the
January VHF Sweepstakes only:  Rovers entering club competition
must indicate the grid locators where operating sites were within
175 miles of the club's center.  Only scores made from those grid
locations count for club competition.
