[VHFcontesting] More Rules = More Controversy - Again

[Zack Widup]

My opinion?  Take what you got.  If you have 10 bands, use them.  If you 
only have 4 bands or less, then enter the limited Rover class.

I'll work anyone on all the bands I have if they have them.

I've only done a couple Rover operations but I plan on doing more 
eventually.

The two single-op Rovers, K9JK/R and WB8BZK/R, have given me many QSO's.
