Wait!!  It looks GRIM.
I visited the "Logs Received: web page:

	http://www.cqww-vhf.com/logs-received-vhf.htm

And checked for 'ROVER's.  Only 3 folks have successfully entered as
ROVER.  I couldn't believe more wouldn't be there already.  So, I did a
[Find] in my browser for "/R".
Oh boy:
        AE5P/R      SINGLE-OP LOW  NON-ASSISTED
        N2SLN/R     SINGLE-OP HIGH ASSISTED
        VE3AAQ/W1/R SINGLE-OP HIGH ASSISTED
        W6KA/R      MULTI-OP  LOW

And, I would bet some (many?) folks used the form

	CALLSIGN: W3DHJ
versus
	CALLSIGN: W3DHJ/R

in the headers -- which should not be an 'error', nor preclude being
entered in the CATEGORY: ROVER.

OBTW, if you know any of AE5P, N2SLN, VE3AAQ, or W6KA -- give'em
a Heads Up.


I've asked to 'peek' at the headers of one of the three successful ROVER
submitters.
