[VHFcontesting] Rovers operating at home

Another option is to utilize another callsign which you have access to. Then again, /m in 1 grid is probably 'forcing the rules in some contests.

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

Rovers operating at home

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.
