I absolutely agree with this. Why should a station only get one point for
working a rover? Why would anyone bother responding to the CQ of a rover
during a six meter band opening when the band is boiling with three points
oportunities? It's not even clear what problem the committee is attempting
to solve with this rule.
Although I have operated most recent contest as a rover, if this rule is
adopted, it is very very unlikley I will ever operate as a rover again. OK
might rove during the CQ VHF test.
