We already have rules that limit who you can work - ie. you can only
work your own operators on 2.4 and up, you can only work them if
they each have seperate stations and those have to be capable
of "real" communications.

This is not a good thing.
I think it is a sad thing that there are multiop groups and/or rovers
that go out as a way to increase the score of the one multip op station.
It makes it such that building and operating a good station is not
enough to be on the same level you also have to round up more folks
and equipment to man rovers to provide you (and only you) with
contacts.
I am missing something I guess - I dont see how this helps the overall
contest or indeed furthers much of anything except the score of the
station these rovers are working.
