[VHFcontesting] Roving in one grid ?

[Keith Morehouse]

Mike - I'll make a prediction.

Change the Rover class to allow a Rover to enter by visiting one grid
and one of these days, the Law of Unintended Consequences will kick
in.  A guy will coax jumper from his vehicle over to his massive
VHF/UHF antenna farm in his back yard, run the whole contest that way,
turn in a 300K score as a classic Rover, kick everyone's butt or break
a long-standing record, totally piss off the Rover community and cause
the rules to be re-written again.

THAT is why I suggested just amending the definition of Single Op to
include mobiles, which would not impact ANY existing class in any way.
