Jay,
Interesting idea. This does look like a "clean up" issue in the rules.
I was thinking the Rover categories could just be changed to allow
staying in one grid. Either approach could work. The mobile stations
would probably be at a disadvantage either way, which could lead to Yet
Another Entry Category.

This should be a simple rule change. Add a footnote to the definition
of single operator that allows entry to a mobile station guided and
operated by a single person and not connected to a antenna structure
considered permanent. Under single op rules, the mobile station would
be allowed to traverse as many grids as the operator wished but could
only contact unique stations once. This could be taken a step further
by adding the same definition to multi-op classes, allowing mobile
operation in a single vehicle by more then one person. The addition
of this simple definition would not affect the current 500 meter fixed
station circle, or whatever the criteria is for a fixed station.
