Hey...you know what?!  I went looking and I stand corrected!  The *only* class 
of participant that can't change their location within the same Grid-4 during a 
contest is the QRP Portable class (WHY PICK ON THEM?!?!).  See: ARRL VHF rule 
2.2.5.Single Operator Portable stations may not change locations during the 
contest period outside of the original 500-meter diameter permitted circle.

I can't find any similar ARRL rule for any other class!

So...unless I've overlooked something, I rescind rule #3 leaving only "two 
simple rules" to normalize rover scoring.

Ev, W2EV
