And if you go grid circling at the North pole, think of all the Qs and mults
you can rack up!

CN 84-84 x 10. On station drives to CN 85, 300 yards away. The process is
repeated to get all the 16 combinations on 10 bands for 160 QSOs and 40
multipliers, thats about 500 points times 40 for 20k points for an hurs work
in a farmers field. These guys did it for 16 grids once with a team of 3
working primarly 4 intersections and posted a score in the millions when
they worked 98 percent of thier own team mates for this score.

allowed to go on. If you are in it for fun or to help hand out grids, then
its good. But many of us would like to compete on a level playing field
where we dont have to round up a half dozen buddies to rack up a decent
score.
