FAQ VAQP Two operators contacting each other from borders
Question:
Would it be considered bad form for each of us to contact one another from opposite sides of county or city boundaries? On each band we have available to us? And then switch locations?
Answer:
I assume you are either mobile or expedition for this. If you have two or more operators you are really a multi operator single transmitter station. This means you can’t really use your “one” radio to contact each other even if you have several HTs handy. Really only one should be used at any one time. If you were a multi-multi then you could have more than one transmission at one time, but you are still operating under one callsign and you can’t contact your own station for points.
This, by the way, does not really prevent you and your passenger from each taking a turn on the radio each making a separate contact to other operators – many couples do this. However, they don’t make contacts with each other.
