Thanks Sean for the link. Does this same thing apply to a limited multi op?

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.
