[VHFcontesting] What is accomplished?

[James Duffey]

Bruce - Thanks for the comments.

It is nice to hear from someone who directly benefits from the N6NB  
efforts that is not a rover.

I appreciate your attitude, and if we had more hams with similar  
attitudes, VHF/UHF contesting would be much healthier.

I am OK with the N6NB entourage doing their thing, but it is probably  
because I am so far out of the money in most contests that it doesn't  
matter anyway. I am heartened to see that they put eight 10 band  
stations on the air and the number of rover stations that are  
represented in that one picture in Wayne's driveway is very  
impressive. It is also impressive that they put one rover, N6TEB, on  
the air with a station and that he went his own way after the first  
gird square. Plus they did a similar thing with a portable station in  
the June contest. So they are increasing activity beyond their grid  
circling group and that is good.

By the way, it is Steve who misidentified Carrie's vehicle not me. He  
should know better, he works for Toyota. :^)= - Duffey
