[VHFcontesting] Grid Circling

[frank bechdoldt]

the disgusting thing is the circling of themselves as captive rovers bound
98 percent to themselves.  The rusles specifically discourage it. Theres no
law that says you cant cut in line at walmart either, but keep doing it and
you may not have many friends and walmart may ban ya. We are all part
owners of this contest and I see somone taking cuts. Some of us dont care
because we are in differnt lines but it doesnt make it right. Some dont
care because they do it too or it helps thier club
