  Tim,
  I stand corrected. I went back to the contesting.com archives and
  I agree that your pack rover email was really in response to 
  another rover's email, not the VUAC announcement. It came 24 hours
  after the VUAC email was posted and my brain incorrectly connected
  the two. No harm intended (and I think no harm done.)

  I am still left with "how does any of this become actionable?"
  Re-hashing vhf contest rules on this list is an interesting exercise but
  not all that productive (my opinion).
