Perhaps it would help to get an idea what other rovers are doing as far as contacts with other rovers.  In June, I made 251 QSOs.  Of those, 13 were with other rovers.  This was as a Limited Rover.  That's just over 5% of my total QSO count.  

I would be very curious to hear what the others are doing.  Those of you who have more experience than me, what is the absolute maximum number of times you could imagine contacting other rovers without going as part of a group?  What is your log showing?  Is it 10 to 20 percent?  Am I low?
