Mark,
Not really. General rule 3.7 specifies a 500' circle for all
stations (which is modified in the VHF rules for rovers). See:

I don't think it is the intention of the rules to exclude mobiles. Looking
at the rules to see whare a mobile can fit, I see no restriction as to why
a mobile cannot simply enter as single operator. In the VHF rules, only
portable stations are restricted from moving. In the general rules,
everything must be contained within a 500 ft circle. In a mobile it is --
its all in one car. Did I miss something?
Hi, I figured the intent of the rule was to prevent me from operating outside
of the 500 ft circle within a single grid, unless I chose to operated as a
rover. In my case it eventually helped prompt me to actually rove to other
grids (which is probably what the authour of the rules had in mind ??) For some
time though it prompted to operate from home vs gamble that my chosen portable
location in my home grid was going to be productive. In years gone by I vaguely
recall working from more than one location in a grid and not entering a log in
the contest. I figured nothing stopped me from handing out contacts as a non
contest participant (:
