First, I think you guys are talking about different contests. Mike doesn't
say it but from the context I believe he is talking about the CQWW VHF
contest. They have their own rules with regards to rovers. For the ARRL
UHF contest, you are correct. The only difference between a limited rover
and classic rover are the max of 4 bands and TX power limits. One thing I
noticed in the rules and I am copying Sean on is that they say any four
bands of your choosing. That was changed earlier this year and I believe it
should read the four lowest bands which for the UHF contest would be 222,
432, 902/903 and 1296. That is correct isn't it Sean?

I am confused as well. Per the definition for the 2009 UHF contest, " Rover:
A rover is comprised of no more than two operators" and " Limited Rover.
Same as the "Rover" class above, but competes with no more than any four
bands of their own choosing."
So we can do a Limited Rover with 4 bands and two operators?

For the four single-op categories: A single-op receives no operating
help either on or off the air.
1. Single Op-All Band. Only one signal allowed at any one time; the
operator may change bands at any time.
2. Single Op-Single Band. Only one signal allowed at any one time.
6. Multi-Op. A multi-op station is one with two or more operators and
may operate 6 and 2 meters simultaneously with only one signal per
band.
I "presume" that Single Op - Single band that you choose either 50 or
144 and that it!
