| I absolutely agree with this.  Why should a
station only get one point for
| working a rover?  Why would anyone bother
responding to the CQ of a rover
| during a six meter band opening when the band is
boiling with three points
| oportunities?  It's not even clear what problem
the committee is attempting
| to solve with this rule.
|
| Although I have operated most recent contest as
a rover, if this rule is
| adopted, it is very very unlikley I will ever
operate as a rover again.  OK
| might rove during the CQ VHF test.
