Mike, et. al.,

Just wondering if you would be so good as to post the difference(s), whether 
by rule or matter of opinion, between operating in the Rover vs. Mobile 
categories?  My take is something like this:  Operating 'Mobile' is driving 
and operating from the vehicle, mostly but not entirely while in motion, and 
picking up counties as you go; whereas operating 'Rover' would be driving to 
a location, setting up a station, making contacts, breaking down, and going 
to the next county, etc.  Although I realize some rovers (especially serious 
VHF guys) tend to have most of their station constructed around their 
vehicle, they still must stop and deploy for maximum effectiveness, while a 
mobile installation, in my take on it, is designed around operating 
"on-the-go".

All opinions are welcome, and please bear in mind that I have not sat and 
compared the rules for each category side-by-side.

Thanks and see you all in October (if not sooner!),
