[VHFcontesting] Pack Rovers meet ARRL contest objectives

[Bob Naumann - W5OV]

I'd like to qualify my comment below regarding N2LBT's rover operations.  

I am presuming that his description is truthful, and his ambition is solely
to maximize his own rover score and therefore he works lots of stations
without focusing his attention on any particular multi-op he might be
otherwise affiliated with.

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?
