This is from the 2005 rules on ARRL's web site:
"4.1.1. Get-On-The-Air (GOTA) Station. Any Class A (or F) entry whose
transmitter classification is two or more transmitters may also operate
one additional HF station without changing its base entry category,
known as the GET ON THE AIR (GOTA) station.
4.1.1.1. This station must operate using a different callsign from the
primary Field Day station. The GOTA station must use only one callsign
for the duration of the event. The GOTA station uses the same exchange
as its parent."
Makes sense. Otherwise anything the station worked would be a dupe, and
there would be no reason to have the GOTA station.
Tnx for the heads up. Always good to be checking.

I am pretty sure that the rules this year say that the GOTA station uses
the same call as the main station. You might want to check the rule
changes for this year. 73, John, K4BAI.
