[VHFcontesting] Rule Change Discussion

[Tom Carney]

Ditto NE0P's comments.

Most rovers out here are relatively low power, small antenna stations.
Other than the first 30 minutes of a contest, I virtually never work a rover
that is in a grid square I need (except for a six meter opening).  I would
have no incentive to work other rover.
