The technicality is that it in the case of someone building a bunch of rover
boxes, they are only being handed out once to one person. Carrying around an
ht to hand out to someone to make a contact, then to retrive it only to hand
out the same ht again is against the rules. Now if you had 'n' number of
rigs, and were handing out a different rig to each person, that is a different
story.
The only exception to this is for a "family" where a rig is shared among each
family member. In other words, I can use my rig in the contest with my call
sign. My daughter (kb1ogl) can use my rig when I'm not on the air using her
callsign, both of our calls count for points for other stations in the
contest. However, my neighbor can't come over and use his call on my rig to
hand out points.
At least that is how I read the rules for most arrl contests.

Just curious. I'd really like to know what the difference between
someone like Les handing his handi to someone to use during the
contest ... and lets say someone else building a whole bunch of
"loaner rover boxes" and handing them out to other people to use
before the contest begins?

year 2022) and would never come true.
