Then this supports the idea that the "problem" (if there is one) of "captive
rovers" (if they actually exist) is miniscule, and inconsequential to the

PS...I'd have been torked had a rover next to me refused to work me, too.  That
kind of ungentlemanly response would have at least assured that I stuck around
to call CQ within 10-KHz of their working frequency until they knuckled under.
