[VHFcontesting] Logging Rovers in Contests

[James Duffey]

Another reason, if you are using a logging program, is that KK6MC/r is not likely to get flagged as a dupe when I move to a new grid. - Duffey KK6MC

>> Chuck - There is a subtle point with not so subtle consequences here. KK6MC/r and KK6MC are not the same call and you could, in principle, have a busted QSO if you log KK6MC/r as KK6MC. 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.
