Hi Michael,
Well, Darryl, I'm making this my last post on this matter, as I seem
to be the only one that wants to allow single grid mobiles to enter
the VHF contests under the current rules (at least until there is some
clarification) while others seem to want to apply a more narrow, out
of context interpretation of the rules to ban these mobiles from
participating. As for the correct interpretation of the rules, its not
up to you or I, it is up to the judges (General Rule 7.9. In all
cases, the decisions of the ARRL Awards Committee are final).
While I agree about decisions (and definitive interpretation) coming
from the awards committee, it is up to every participant to know and
properly interpret the rules. I don't feel the need to change your
mind. But I think other readers need to recognize that you are
offering a new and novel interpretation of the 500' rule. And one that
is almost certainly incorrect.
Anyone following your interpretation and going mobile during ARRL
contests (VHF, 10m, 160m, etc.) and submitting logs in one of the
Single-Op or Multi-Op classes is certain to have their log thrown into
the "check log" pile.
Best wishes to you, and I, too, look forward to our first QSO.
Darryl
