[VHFcontesting] 10 percent correction

ok I screwed up, 10 percent of the qsos

then if I have 20 percent from one station I will pick the best qsos based
on first the multiplier, then the back (qso Points)

This would allow 2 rovers to embelish themselves a bit for dragging
microwave gear to Wyoming, reward thier efforts for going to the rare
grids, but stop the hording of points involved in a 4 grid, 16 combo per
band mauling.

Theoretically if you could circle with another for the 4 multipliers per
band, but you would have to reach out to others for qsos.

Lets say I and a friend go to a corner and we work each other once on each
band  between  two 10 band roving stations. this would add up 40 qsos
total, and 40 multipliers, but only if I reach out to 360 other qsos where
none of them being equal to no more than 10 percent of the qsos  themselves.

If someone wants to build a 10 man 10 band  team and circle henderson
nevada, it can be exploited, but it should make for one heck of an article
in QST.

If this worked then some good could come out of this thread right?
