Hi Dave,
I think you are selling yourself short. You are one of the most driven (pun, I
know) rover advocates that I know. Surely you realize that -- just like our
counterparts in Track and Field, it takes time to condition (both biologically
and technically) and train before we can hope to be recognized as the best in
our field.
You can't throw in the towel...it's too deeply woven in your fabric. In fact,
you saw a way to be even *more* efficient and developed Palm-based logging
software. Those that use it see their scores increase simply from being more
efficient at logging.
I'm simply saying that we should be careful what we ask for. Our bands are
constantly under attack from the outside. Asking the ARRL to make it even more
advantageous for us to submit logs that reference fewer bands-used will
trade-off our future for some undefinable level of present-satisfaction.
Ev, W2EV

That HamIM, that HamIM -- I'm sure you'll like that HamIM.

Ask me about either. I'll send a URL and you can join the fun, too!
