[ILQSO] RE: 2 M FM ILQP FREQ

[James Funk]

Ray, you are correct...it would be "against the spirit of the rules".
It is "against the letter of the rules" for two mobile stations to use
the same vehicle.  For portable/rover/fixed stations, no such rule has
been lettered so far, and I would prefer that it not be necessary, which
it will not as long as individuals recognize the spirit as you have.

Thanks, 73, Jim N9JF

Peg,

Yes, about the only way I am going to work Hardin County is to snag a
mobile
passing through.  

However, I did look through the rules & found what I believe to be an
omission.  The way the rules are currently written, I could send Pam,
K9JMA,
to the other side of the campground with her 2m HT & work K9JMA/M for
credit.  Most contests prohibit individuals involved in the operation of
a
station from working that station for credit.  No "manufactured"
contacts.

I am certain that my working K9JMA/M for Hardin County credit would be
against the spirit of the rules, but apparently it is actually within
the
letter of the rules.

73, Ray, K9DUR
