AND, this rule seems to indicate you don't need the "/R" as long as it is
from a different grid.

*7.2. *Stations may be worked for credit only once per band from any given
grid square,

regardless of mode. This does not prohibit working a station from more than
one grid square

with the same call sign (such as a Rover).
