I don't think that would work. Say I am in FN32 and an unknown rover to me is
driving from FN22 through FN32 to FN31. He is going to hit three grids. I am
a "slower" rover and stay in FN32 for 2 or 3 hours. Does that mean I don't get
credit for the QSO's I have with him from the FN32 or FN31 grids? We are not
grid circling, we are contesting.
