I always assumed that any station not a Rover had to use only one grid
square during the contest. But the two rules quoted don't seem to preclude
using another grid square as a portable if the next grid is 150 meters
away. If you move the station into that grid, you're still within the
"original 500-meter diameter permitted" circle.
Hmm ... it IS confusing.

I know 'every year' some one questions the 'Rules' ! Sorry if you all are
getting 'sic of it' ! But..
Looking at the 'VHF Contest Rules'.. one states for /P Op's..
*1.9.* A station located precisely on a dividing line between grid squares
must select only *'ONE'* as the location for exchange purposes. A different
grid-square multiplier cannot be given without moving the complete station
(including antennas) *at least 100 meters.*
And another states..
*2.2.5.* Single Operator Portable stations may not change locations during
the contest period outside of the *original 500-meter diameter permitted*
circle.
So.. a /P Op' on a Grid Line cannot hand out 'either or'.. whichever the
station worked needs.. ? But then again, you can only work him 'once'.. so
you could not work him a 2nd time with the 'Other Grid' as you are to
'select only one' ! So 'can you move 'less than 500M' and use the 'other
Grid Square' ? Or would that be a different 2nd contest entry from that
Grid as well ? So if I move 'more than 500M..I am a /R..but 'Less..
I am still /P' ? Kinda 'confusing' ! Sorry for the Bandwidth ! GL All..
Hope we get some Prop Soon !
