Fw: [VHFcontesting] Re: Rule precedence...

[John Godwin]

Hello folk's

The rules are explicit. A rover can use only one call sign. A family 
station is not a rover station and vice versa. There is no other 
interpretation that can be construed from the following rules.

General Rules for All ARRL Contests
1. Precedence of Rules:
1.1. Rules for individual contests or events, including Field Day, take 
precedence over all General Rules.
1.2. General Rules for HF and VHF contests take precedence over General 
Rules for all contests.
3.5. A transmitter used to contact one or more stations may not be 
subsequently used under any other call during the contest period, except 
for family stations where more than one call has been issued, and then 
only if the second call sign is used by a different operator. (The 
intent of this rule is to accommodate family members who must share a 
rig, and to prohibit manufactured or artificial contacts.)
