One rover can work another rover at a grid intersection 160 times for 40 multipliers. One stays in CN 84 the other moves. IE CN84-CN85 x 10 contacts, CN84-94 x 10 contacts, CN 84-95 x 10 contacts. CN
I don't mean to pick on a volenteer. I think we thought there was a comprimise here or a gentelman's agreement. When I say write the contest comittee it's because some in the VUAC said they are not g
Ok, I will stand corrected on that one. However, my opinion is if one team posts massive scores it skews it for all of us who don't team rove and a firm division is needed. I suppose if it was never
James laid out a scenario very well, better than I could when I was whining about it. The VUAC has came out and said the the intent was to encourage the team rovers to compete in the unlimited class
Actually under the old rules or unlimited you can get 160 qsos from a 4 grid intersection. As demostrated by the logs in earlier contests. Station 1 Station 2 Grid A to Grid A Grid A to Grid B Grid A
Steve asked what would I do. Ive been vocal on this about 5 or 6 years. Had some good ideas and some lame ones. You could find some of them in the past postings back to 2003 or so. I think I'm better

Below 900 mhz, look up gulf alpha antennas. The beauty of their antennas is that they use rods you can replace at a local home depot or keep spares with you and a pair of dykes. Above 900 mhz, I'm in
Let me try to put things into perspective for those who whine about the whining about grid circling or team roving. Someone used the word ecosystem, and that a good analogy here. All our scores and a
KK6MC gave a partially detailed list of the results of the grid cirling team. My question is this what percentage of those team members scores are generated from working each other? The percentage of
How do you see the logs like duffy did? Also I noticed that there is only about 60 non circling rovers as compared to 90 in the Past. The numbers are going down. Is it these discussions, the lack of
Here is a fair comparison from my own log In 2006 I posted a 70,000 score as a rover with no team mate. In this effort I worked 603 QSOS form 170 plus unique calls with 81 multipliers of which 66 cam
I find the purchase of magnetic signs to be helpful to keep many passerbys from interupting me while contesting. I perfer the skywarn storm chaser magnet ans telling people I'm ensuring that Tornados
Jim wrote What a joke, you want everyone else to use real facts but you feel no need to do that yourself. The extract below contains a lie but you have no problem telling it. You are calling me a lia
I'm getting personal e-mails calling me a liar. The call sign of the undocumented rover is posted on the soap box. It also looks like he made significant qsos as well.as per the soap box post. Believ
I think I need to take the time to clarify my positions and what I think of some of the key people brought into this. Its getting pretty twisted and perhaps I am too direct. Jim, You are missing the
