The "captive rover" discussion seems to swirling around some notion
of whether a rover (or any operator, for that matter) should choose
who they try to work during a contest. Hmmm, seems like a silly
question to me....and not really enforceable.

A better question might be about whether this rule needs to be
modified such that a multi-op station can't work its own operators
on any band:
 
    7.3. Multi-operator stations may not include QSOs with their
    own operators except on frequencies higher than 2.3 GHz.
    Even then, a complete, different station (transmitter, receiver
    and antenna) must exist for each QSO made under these conditions. 

I am trying to think of any other radio contest where you can work
your own operators. Is there one?
