I posted a note to the VHF Contesting reflector last year, explaining how to
submit a Rover log to the Robot and get in the correct category. You can find
it in the VHF contesting archives here:
http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/vhfcontesting/2008-June/010074.html
We have already put measures in place to score any QSOs above 432 MHz in a
Limited Rover's submitted log as zero points/multipliers.
For Limited Multioperator stations, this has proven a bit more problematic. I'm
working with the log checkers to come up with a solution. In the past, I've
suggested listing the 4 bands you want to use for your score in the SOABOX:
tag, but this is not the perfect solution. When one is developed, I will post a
note here and include it in my blog.
For the time being, the best I can suggest is to send me a separate email and
tell me the 4 bands you want to count for your score.
