[VHFcontesting] Unlimited in club competition

[kb7dqh at donobi.net]

Right, an "unlimited rover".  Then, you still would have to be set up
within that 160 mile circle defined as the "club territory"...

The real benefit for a club to encourage the running of as many rovers as
they can is to increase the scores of the "fixed" stations inside the club
territory, regardless of whether the rover scores can be added to the
total or not... "A rising tide floats all boats (at least the ones that
can float:-)"
