In case any non-fixed station operators missed it...
According to the document found >>HERE<<, "STTN.6. All equipment should be
capable of communications at a range of at least 5 km. Contacts made between
non-fixed stations, for example portable and/or rover stations, should be made
over a distance of at least 5 km."
I added ialics simply for emphasys.
This is a departure from the historic 1 km distance.
I assume this will mean additional log scrutiny in grids where rovers use the
same hilltops and upon arrival will log eachother before contacting DX.
