- Interesting to note that the ETDXA and SVHFG sprints and the CQ WW VHF tests use the "old" rover rules AND allow for repeated APRS... Not much "captive grid packing" going on here... Or, go back to t

- I'd be one of those international rovers. A few years ago, I did a June VHF QSO Party and began my rove in CN88 using my US call, K7CW. I then crossed the border into Canada and began using my VE7RCW

- Keep in mind that the CQ WW VHF contest is two bands only and the sprints are single band (and only 4 hours long). Both of these limit the hyper-scoring effort of grid circling. 73, Bob K0NR ________

- So, I asked him what the difference was between K7CW/VE7 and VE7RCW. They're both legal calls in Canada. I get clipped if I use one of them and passed if I use the other. -- Hi Paul, Though I'm neith

- Assuming he was a Rover in a new grid square, I don't see a difference as long as he wasn't using both callsigns from the same VE7 grid square. But using the US call portable VE7 would've been more c

- Ev, Of course, we are only guessing as to the motivations for making the rules, but one can draw accurate conclusions, I think. The ARRL contest desk would not attempt to explain why any rule was mad
