Rex,

Since you modified my original subject line, I feel the need to address 
this.  I don't think the ARRL contest should be changed to a grid square 
contest.  What other changes are needed, I don't care.

I DO think it would be fun to have a seperate contest where Grid 
Squares/roving/etc are all part of the process on HF.  You don't need a 
tri-bander on your car.  A vertical whip will work nicely.

I was proposing a seperate contest.

73,
