"most everyone that responded thinks captive roving, pack roving, and 
circle roving are good ideas and that most of the hams that responded 
to me use or have used these tactics".

What about the hundreds (perhaps thousands?) who didn't respond?

How many responses did you get?

Hey Bob, I only got 6 responses total.  Much less than I would have expected considering the topic.  Not that I wanted to sort through thousands of emails, but I would have figured it would have been a little more even given previous discussions on this list.  I suspected there was a majority that considered the tactics unethical (per previous posts), but as far as the answers I got back, it was not the case.  It was very surprising to say the least.  It is not a big deal to me personally, because I am not a rover and don't plan on being one.  I had no idea that what was happening with these tactics was the status quo versus the exception to the rule.  I can't say that I will ever look upon VHF contesting quite the same.  73...Rusty NE4ME
