[VHFcontesting] Rules question (not anything to do with the usual problems)

[Ray J]

the rule states that rovers may use APRS..

it lists no exceptions at all other than they TX call and location only.

  wouldn't  "Spotting" require a frequency location.? pretty useless 
with out knowing what frequency u can find them on.. thats why it is 
forbidden for them to tx anything else other than call and grid .. its 
not really "Spotting"

it doesn't say anywhere that "unlimited" rovers are the only rover class 
that can use APRS..
