[VHFcontesting] Rovers & Club Competition [was: ARRL VHF+ contest proposals]

[Ev Tupis]

With the intent to offer a public forum on another point of 
consideration, I'd like to say the following about this:

> Because rover scores can be so large under the original rover 
 > scoring rules, they can distort the club competition scores.
 > To solve this major problem with the original rules, we propose
 > that rover station scores should not be counted towards club
 > competition scores.  Rovers would continue to contribute
 > substantially to increasing the scores of club members by
 > providing numerous QSO points and activating new grids.

 From a club-rover perspective.  Since my score wouldn't count toward my 
club, what incentive would I have to travel very far from my member's 
normal VHF/uWave range?  Going beyond the range of 50% of my club 
reduces my impact by 50%, right?

I'm not certain that this part of the proposal would have the outcome 
that is being sought.  fwiw.
