How about a mult for every law enforcement official that checks you out?
Or a point for every curious non-ham with questions? A new mult if 6
meters is open during the visit...
A new mult for each blown pre-amp, transverter, or rig during the contest...
Bonus points for each degree below freezing, or above 100 degrees F......
An award for sticking to a planned schedule:-)
Ahh, the joys of Roving:-)
