Hi Chuck,

>From ARRL contest rules:

*"3.5.4. *Rovers MUST sign "rover" on Phone and /R on CW and digital modes
after their call sign."

It should also be logged that way. The one thing I have been curious about
is what happens when a station, planning to be a Rover, signs /R in a
contest, and then ends up only being able to operate from one grid square?
I suspect the ARRL logging robot takes care of that and assigns the
appropriate entry category.


73, Zack W9SZ
