[VHFcontesting] Multi-op rovers

[Jimk8mr@aol.com]

Bill,
 
I did not call you stupid, nor did I know your manner of  operation.  I'm 
glad you operate responsibly. But the facts in your case do  not mean that 
everyone else will do the right thing.
 
The potential liability for contest sponsors (i.e. ARRL) that establish  
rules of competition that reward people who might do stupid or dangerous things  
needs to be considered. More than just the competitors are involved  here.

Jim, you  are twisting the facts here.  Neither I or the multi-op station 
operate  very late at night.  And unlike them, I never operate while in  motion.  
I will not put myself or others at risk for the sake of a few  more points.  
For your information, all my gear is behind the front  seats, inaccessible to 
me while driving in a contest.  

No, I do  not need a second person in the vehicle at any time.  So lets not 
go  around calling others stupid without getting the facts correct first.   
Thank you.
