I am very sorry to hear that my comments have been taken as "anti roving".
I honestly think rovers are fantastic and they should be commended for
doing it. While I haven't yet roved in a VHF contest, I have done it
before for HF contests doing county hopping.
By your comments, it doesn't sound like you are a "captive" rover, so
please do not take anything I have said to apply to you.

This is great - and I am only talking about the very small rovers who
do not make an effort to work other stations and end up in no other logs.
