[VHFcontesting] rovers, etc.

[Jeff Embry (K3OQ)]

I believe I would throw in have FUN....after all life is way to short 
not to have FUN when doing what you like to do.  As far as captive 
rovers...which seems to be a big topic on this list...I believe they 
exist and I also believe that until there is a change to the rules then 
we have to rely on the honor system and for us to set the example in 
conducting ourselves in a sportsmanlike manner.  I'm afraid all the 
griping will do nothing...but perhaps examples could be set and it will 
rub off.

Hope to work a few of the rovers with my puny QRP setup and attic 
antennas.  Will be on 6, 2, and 432.

73,
