[VHFcontesting] Contesting ethics for rovers

[kb7dqh at donobi.net]

Hmmm... There is the rule that permits individual operators in a Multiop
station to work each other on the bands 2304 AND ABOVE... provided that
each operator uses "separate equipment"... "Stretched", one would "pass
the gunnplexer around the campfire" so to speak, which would technically
be a violation unless all the participants were in a "family" and could
"share" equipment...

I will have to reread the Unlimited Rover rules to see if this is allowed;
where the several operators each had portable microwave equipment
on-board, in addition to the Unlimited Rover's "station equipment"...  It
would then be possible to conveniently stop, deploy the individually owned
and operated equipment, work the Unlimited Rover station, each other, then
pack it up and move on...

If the scenario in the last paragraph were a permitted practice for
Unlimited Rovers, I could have "activated" 5 more grids last January, by
simply packing the "extra" 10 Ghz gear and separated out one operator to
work the Rover!!!
