About the point you raised below: No, no, no, no, no!!!! How many times do
we have to say this? There is NO penalty for going over 30 contacts with
another rover. There is no "zero point QSO". The only thing that will
happen if a rover exceeds 30 contacts with a single other rover or if he
exceeds 50% of his total score with all rovers, is that he'll properly be
listed as an Unlimited Rover.
Why is this such a mystery? Why do we keep acting as if UR is somehow a
punishment? Its not. Its not any more punishment than "forcing" 3 guys who
decide to operate together from one person's house to be scored as a
multi-op station.
You're smarter than this Ev.
