To start a new thread on this, this portion of the rules are GOING TO
NEED TO BE CHANGED soon.

I mean only one station can be transported?

What about the RISING gas prices?
What about those hams that don't have their own transportation?

I know it would make life a little simpler if they would lift that rule
so that I could bring my equipment and ride with another rover to split
the cost of gas and wear and tear on vehicles.
