I know 'every year' some one questions the 'Rules' !  Sorry if you all 
are getting 'sic of it' !  But..
Looking at the 'VHF Contest Rules'.. one states for /P Op's..

*1.9.* A station located precisely on a dividing line between grid 
squares must select only *'ONE'* as the location for exchange purposes. 
A different grid-square multiplier cannot be given without moving the 
complete station (including antennas) *at least 100 meters.*

And another states..

*2.2.5.* Single Operator Portable stations may not change locations 
during the contest period outside of the *original 500-meter diameter 
permitted* circle.

So.. a /P Op' on a Grid Line cannot hand out 'either or'.. whichever the 
station worked needs.. ?  But then again, you can only work him 'once'.. 
so you could not work him a 2nd time with the 'Other Grid' as you are to 
'select only one' !   So 'can you move 'less than 500M' and use the 
'other Grid Square' ?  Or would that be a different 2nd contest entry 
from that Grid as well ?  So if I move 'more than 500M..I am a /R..but 
'Less..
I am still /P' ?   Kinda 'confusing' !  Sorry for the Bandwidth ! GL 
All.. Hope we get some Prop Soon !
