[VHFcontesting] Entering as a Mobile (/M) in Contests

[Bob K0NR - email list]

Jay,
Interesting idea. This does look like a "clean up" issue in the rules.

I was thinking the Rover categories could just be changed to allow 
staying in one grid. Either approach could work. The mobile stations 
would probably be at a disadvantage either way, which could lead to Yet 
Another Entry Category.
