Well, I guess I must be completely missing it then.  I don't see anything
innovative about grid circling and I don't see much technicly challenging
about their setup - either electronicly or mechanicly.

Help me out here.  What were there innovations?  What were their technical
accomplishments?

>From the pictures of their rovers, they seem to be running a bunch of small
antennas on a steel box.  I think, at a minimum, that my rover setup matches
theirs.  With my rover I've worked QSOs of hundreds of MILES not hundreds of
FEET.
