Ok, the ability to submit two logs convinced me of a purpose for logging the "/R". Thanks for pointing this out James.

As a rover, KK6MC/r, I can also submit a single op entry as KK6MC. So if the rover submits two logs, and you log the rover  without the /r, your QSO will not be in the log without the /r and the QSO can be declared non valid. I am not sure that the ARRL actually does this, but it certainly can and with more stringent log checking it may happen in the future.
