[VHFcontesting] Pack Rovers meet ARRL contest objectives

[Bob Naumann - W5OV]

I think in Dennis's case, his operation defines what rovers should be.  A
single rover, doing what they feel is best for his/their own score.
Venturing out into their chosen area, to seek to do what they can do best -
alone.

Consider the difference between this approach, and what we all know was
required to plan and execute the recent rover team / grid circling
operations.

Actually, maybe you've quite clearly pointed out one of the major
differences between VHF/UHF/rover contesting and HF contesting.

I've never been a serious contender in a VHF+ contest so I've never asked a
top scorer for a copy of his/her log - I figure I have to do some serious
VHF+ station building first before I worry about the details top scorers
have learned.

I am more competitive on HF and have asked direct competitors for copies of
their logs and I always get a positive response.    I've always done the
same for people that ask me for a copy.    On HF we all learn from each
other.

Is it really true that log sharing just isn't done between VHF+ competitors?
