	Rover: Contester(s) using a single station that moves among two
or more grid squares during the course of a contest. The rover vehicle
may only emit one (1) signal at any given time and may not operate with
more than one call sign. Rover vehicles must transport all the
equipment, power supplies, and antennas used at each operating site.
Rovers sign "/R" after their call sign. Here is a suggestion from our
fearless leader;
*** I'd suggest that stations using for example "NY2U/R" should use the
Grid Square as they change grids, otherwise stations will be contacting
them for possible dupes. However, it is NOT mandatory! I believe the
clever rover contester would send something like "CQ CQ de NY2U/R FN32"
or just a simple "NY2U/R FN33" Now it becomes very clear that I have
moved grid squares. ***
All Rovers are encouraged to adopt operating practices that allow as
many stations as possible to contact them.
Rover station can count multiple contacts with the same station on the
same band, as long as the Rover is in different grids.
*	ROVER stations in both PSK and RTTY are limited to 100 watts. 

*	NOTE: Please be very careful. We know of a few cases where
points were missed by contest operators because they didn't realize that
a station was a ROVER and had changed Grid Squares. They thought it was
a Dupe.  The Rover station also misses out on points as well! Please
watch out for the ROVER portable identifier /P. :)


Operating Modes:

SWL, PSK ( includes all sub modes ie PSK31, PSK63) and RTTY (includes
all sub modes ie 60wpm, 100wpm) 
Note: Operators can submit more than one mode. These must be separate
entries and NOT combined. Please submit an OnLine Score Submission Form
for each mode. Your multi category entries will, of course, be
accumulated towards your Tour'ney credits.:)


Band:

Use the regular digital frequencies/mode on  160 thru 6m. WARC band QSOs
are NOT permitted in the spirit of the gentleman's agreement that there
be no contesting on the WARC bands.


Points:

Stations can be worked once on each band for QSO points (see ROVER
exception rules above).
Each valid QSO per band counts as 1 QSO point.
Each different Grid Locator worked counts as one (1) multiplier, once
per band. 


Total Score:

Total Score = QSO Points x total different Grid Locators/Band
