Frank - You wrote in part:
	I bring up the grid circlers logs because KK6MC used them to their  
defense. I can’t find the logs online. Maybe I am assuming too much  
when I think the 	group gave them to him in order to defend  
themselves. (Like a 527 group). I don’t know that. But if you knew  
what you knew to defend them.
Let me clarify my sources of information. I have no inside  
information. I am flattered to think that you think I am in good  
enough with the CA group for them to send me their logs. But I am not,  
I assure you. I obtained the 15 grids that KG6TOA visited from the  
Soapbox post. I deduced that he operated on 4 bands from the facts  
that he has operated from 10 bands roving before so he almost  
certainly has 4 bands ready to go, and the fact that he was traveling  
with stations that had 10 bands, again from the soapbox, so his would  
be a subset of theirs. He is a serious competitor and I can't imagine  
him competing with less than the full suite of bands the rules allow.  
I also deduce that he operated on the 4 bands that would give him 4  
points per QSO rather than the lower bands with their lower point  
value as those he traveled with had capability on those bands and that  
would maximize his score. The evidence supports the deductions.
W3DHJ posted his results with QSOs and multipliers by bands as well as  
grids visited on the 3830 list that is available for anyone to look  
at. So that is no secret.
I am friends with W3DHJ and we exchange e-mails. Our paths crossed  
during the CQ contest:

We did not grid square, although I worked him 8 times from 4 grids  
when he was in 2 grids. That helped both our scores a lot.
What is a 527 group? - Duffey
