[VHFcontesting] controversy

[frank bechdoldt]

I havent played under the new rules and thats a gas price vs rewards issue.
 
Howevr on my best rove I worked 180 unique stations in the pacific northwest, for 600-700 qsos. I worked one rover about 35 times, another about 17 times and a couple of others five or six times.  I activated 15 grids and actually worked One  well equiped fixed staion about 60 times and a few other ones 20-30 times.  
 
In this case my single highest rover to rovr rate came close to 5 percent while a well equiped/ well manned multi op station was near 10 percent and some home players were 3 percent each.
 
Sometimes I post a route, I gave up on times because it's not my thing and I quite often change routes due to issues like road construction, getting lost, breaking antennas ect....
 
I think 10 percent to any one station as a rover is enough and I wouldnt penalize a home station for working a rover beyond 10 percent on thier end, They have to take what they can get when they live in remote areas.
 
ok check my spelling and get back to me.

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?
