[VHFcontesting] Rover mileage costs not factored

[Bill Burgess]

Hi Scott,

In the Ontario QSO Party, the province is divided into 48 counties.  Last April I covered 13 of them as a rover, the most I have ever done.  Mileage was not excessive, as by careful planning it was kept down to perhaps 500 miles.  Note that I never operate while mobile in any contest (impossible, everything is behind me facing the rear.).

In the June VHF contest, I covered off my usual 4 grids, 2 each day.  Going to push for more this time.
Need to get more grids to the west and south-west.
Also need more area to place rigs in the vehicle now that more bands are in operation.

Regret you are out of range for most of my bands.

73,
