[VHFcontesting] Contest rules and rovering

[Bill Olson]

Hi John, Any operator that says they don't want to make 6 microwave contacts 
because it's not a new grid DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS!!! 22 qso points 
x whatever the grid total is at the end of the contest, say 400 for a big 
Northeastern multiop, is 8800 points in a couple minutes! (8800 points COULD 
be the difference between a first and second place score!) Sure the score 
increase would be more if the qso's were all new grids, but the idea is to 
be GOOD ENOUGH to work EVERY POSSIBLE QSO. That being said, things can get 
pretty crazy at a big mountaintop multiop station and what one single 
operator might say at any given moment may not reflect the desires of the 
rest of the group!!

It was nice working you on the microwave bands while you were in SEVERAL 
nearby (not new) grids this past weekend! Thanks for the points!

bill, K1DY (for K1WHS a New England multiop station)
