[VHFcontesting] Rovers operating at home

[Rick R]

Yes, you can operate both a rover station and a fixed station from the same "home" grid, as long as the equipment and antennas are separate for both stations. The rover must operate from at least 2 grids. I have done this for many contests to give the locals a few extra points from the home station. I send in both station scores separately. Rick, K1DS

The ARRL rules say that rovers can submit separate logs as a single operator in addition to rover logs. 
Does this mean that I can work someone from my home grid twice? Once as KF2MR/R FN13 and once as KF2MR FN13 ? 
It has never been an option before as I didn't have enough gear for two stations, but it looks like I will for June and I like to be home later at night. 
Any thoughts? Are there any restrictions to this concept? I saw a related thread "Category question" in the archive from 2003 but I can't open it for some reason.
