[VHFcontesting] Multi-op rovers

[Jimk8mr@aol.com]

If all that is keeping you on an unlevel playing field is the lack of a  
second operator, you ought to just go find yourself one.
 
Mixing contest operating with driving, especially when sleep deprivation  
comes into play, is a very bad idea. While the rules can't stop someone from  
doing something dumb or worse, I'd not want to be a contest sponsor who had to  
explain to some trial lawyer, or jury, why we had rules that forbade  someone 
from having help when out on the road for 31 straight hours.

Yes, I  agree that multi-op rovers should be classed separately to a single 
op.   It does not matter if they are using one or more vehicles, as all are 
working  as a team under one call.  We need this to level the playing field.   
Otherwise, the single rover doesn't stand a chance of winning at any  time.

Go for it.
