I am glad you enjoy roving.
Yes, the captive ones are in the minority, but as the K5TR
example showed, it doesn't take a lot of them to have a major
impact to a score.
They do exist. I have seen several examples of it poking around
in the June VHF logs. I am one of the log checkers for the ARRL
and have access to the logs. This is not a red herring!!
