[VHFcontesting] Re: Captive rovers

If they can do it!

Actually, around here it would be pointless from what I can tell.  On
Saturday nights of the contests most people hit the sack some time during
the night; the bands get pretty quiet after midnight.

I'd be more concerned about the Rovers' safety.  I'd prefer that they DO
get a good night's sleep before trying to drive through another 6 grid
squares.
