Yes, Rovers are new, and "fair game", for all entrants when they move to a new
county.
This is true for GA stations, fixed and rovers too.
I have put an extra note at the top of the rules to help emphasize this, thanks
to Chaz.
The general advice is:
Log the dupes... it is quicker, and fills in for the other station.
Do not remove Q's from your log for submission.
GA stations always send "to" and receive "from" all other GA station, the
County, not "GA".
This is not a rule change, but getting it clarified and better published will
help.
So work them all, send your county, get the county of all GA stations....

Subject: [SECC] NOTE: A pointer for the GQP that might be ignored..
I was confused about this; maybe I'm not alone.
I thought, as a Georgia operator, that I could work another station in Georgia
and get QSO points only once per band.
But, in truth, you get QSO points for Rover stations once per county per band.
My logging program wasn't ready for that (it is now :) and I'm wondering if
other logging programs are aware of this rule.
Programmatically, dupe checking usually happens when the callsign is entered.
But if the callsign is a GA rover, the program has to set a flag that the same
call is "possible dupe" but won't know until the county is entered.
Just a point of concern. I checked with Mike and the scoring program DOES give
GA stations a QSO point (or points) for each combination of callsign, band and
county -- even if the callsign is the same from county to county as it is with
Rover stations.
Just tryin' to help...
