[NLRS] Sounds like "Multi-Station"...NOT Roving (was: Re: New Rover Rules are here.)

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

INTERESTING observation Ed.

If *that* IS the case and intent, might the category be more 
appropriately called "Multi-STATION"? While there is "rove" (moving 
among the multiple stations/sites of equipment deployment), it 
certainly does NOT sound like "roving" to me.

I can see it now...and NOT to pick on teh Grid Pirates or suggest that 
they would actually DO something like this...the K8GP gang at Spruce 
Knob would work ALMOST the entire contest from there, signing K8GP/R, 
and allow what ever time it took for an operator to get from FM08 to 
ONE other Grid, make ONE contact from that different Grid, signing 
K8GP/R (from FM09, perhaps?). (For that matter, what's to prevent one 
of the operators from leaving to do that while the station is in a 
slow period, say EARLY Sunday morning, to get to a different grid, 
coordinating with the Spruce Knob location to stop transmitting from 
there, make that contact, and then returning?) THEN they have a RECORD 
"Unlimited Rover" score (that probably COULD count for PVRC...unless 
the provision that scores from Unlimited Rover entries, as I 
understood was IN the VUAC's proposal, is ultimately incorporated).

73, JK
