Well, I guess I must be completely missing it then. I don't see anything
innovative about grid circling and I don't see much technicly challenging
about their setup - either electronicly or mechanicly.
Help me out here. What were there innovations? What were their technical
accomplishments?

antennas on a steel box. I think, at a minimum, that my rover setup matches
theirs. With my rover I've worked QSOs of hundreds of MILES not hundreds of
FEET.
