[VHFcontesting] VUAC <10 qso rule comprimise & honoring history

[frank bechdoldt]

If there is a controversy over a perceived rule flaw of a contesting system used on VHF the contesting reflector is the place for it.  People will try to take what starts as a civil debate and twist it in hopes that it dies.  It won’t. 10 years proves that.
 
I am a rover. I don’t like the idea of a 10 QSO limit. However much of the debate on here could be used to try to reach a compromise amongst reasonable people. You will have to filter out the rest. So perhaps the simple end all here would be rover to rover contacts count for zero points and zero multipliers. It would hurt me but woould be for the greater good and there would be no way I can think of right now to get around that rule, so its probaly the logical/ simple fix
 
Pack roving would still run together for safety and this would not touch the safety issue at all.
 
I know some of you are pretty much literalists when it comes to the rules and perhaps life.  I’m ok with that.  I’m going to mention spirit here again.
 
I was not an original rover but if I understand the history the people that laid the foundation of this did it for the home stations in the VHF community.  
 
 
 
A zero point/ multiplier for limited and classic rovers would re-enforce the spirit of my predecessors who did it for the vhf community as a whole.  Leaving unlimited, unlimited would give circlers a home within our community as well.
 
thanks for asking
