Is it possible that the "Captive Rover" is a mythological creature?  No one
likes it, but that's ok 'cause it doesn't really exist. :)

Ok...fess up.  Who on this list has had a rover refuse to QSO them?  Then fess
up as to why -- truthfully.  My bets are that (if it HAS happened) it's because
your station on the band that you wanted to work them on was too piddly weak to
waste time with...they're on a schedule, after all).  Remember...THEY have a
strategy, too.  It's not all about you.
