Absolutly! I can't imagine anyone going through that much trouble, just to
score points. It takes all of the fun out of Roving. Fun is pulling out
that guy on 432 with 10 watts, 4 grids away for a new mult, etc...

Nor do we need to. We are all scored by division, so we only go head to
head with other Rovers in our division. Fair warning though, if you are in
the Central division, you are going to have to compete with me, and I intend
to win!:-)
