Well, I'm confused.  And I'm not trying to split hairs here.  I just need an
explanation of this.

K3PD said, "My understanding about the W3UU ROVER as a BONUS POINTS STATION
is that it does differ from a W3UU FIXED station in the same county."

How is a non-moving W3UU station different from a rover W3UU station in the
same county on the same band and same mode?  And for that matter, how is
either one different from a mobile W3UU station in the same county?  W3UU is
the "root" call sign and once you've worked "one" W3UU station on 40m in DAU
on PH you're done, aren't you?  You can only work him again on 40m in DAU on
CW then that would be it.  Are you saying that I can work a rover W3UU on
the same band, same mode, same county and have it count for another QSO and
200 more bonus points?  Same thing goes for a mobile W3UU in the same county
on the same band and the same mode.

If I worked from home as KA3JWE in NHA then went mobile could I be worked
again in NHA on the same band and mode?  And then if I changed my status to
rover could I be worked again?  Or does this scenario only apply to bonus
stations?

As I said, I'm NOT trying to get anyone pi**ed off here, I'm just trying to
logically get things straight in my mind so that I can log and score the
bonus station correctly.

Thanks to whoever can clear this up.

Don - KA3JWE
