[VHFcontesting] Fwd: Re: VHF Contesting: Fixing the Grid Circling

[Mike Perryman]

Honestly...  very, very few...

Most post 11:00PM contacts are comprised of the dedicated rovers who stick 
it out through the night...  which equates to not many...  most stations 
call it quits after 11:00PM.

But, if they are willing to stick it out, I am willing to for-go sleep to 
make their efforts worth while.  I have even had guys try to whistle CW 
into a hand mike at times....  anything to feel the effort was worth 
it..    Point South into FM18gl during the Sept. contest, and you will most 
likely find me hollering CQ on 6m...  whether I will be awake enough to 
give a coherent reply is another story.  ;-)

A couple of years ago, I was told that I was calling "CQ Field Day" toward 
the end of the VA QSO Party..  but it got another contact.  Is "auto-pilot" 
a legal mode?

I try to support rovers, at least the honest ones.  After all, it would be 
pretty boring without them!!
