Let's give non-Rovers this same ability, then.  Say...QRP Portable, for instance.

One needs only 4 lunchbox operators to meet the QRP Portable station at each corner of the "home" Grid-4 and work them on A-through-L.  This results in a little over 39k in score...from having 4 calls in the log.

The result? An overall #2 log in the June 2008 VHF contest, in the QRP Portable category - eclipsing 33 other participants.

Double the lunchbox rovers to 8 and they catapult to a #1 win in the QRP Portable category, with 8 calls in the log.  Sorry KA1LMR...those 409 QSO's that you worked hard for got you a second place showing to someone who "worked the system" rather than "worked to communicate."

Alas...only the rover category has that advantage...and the endless controversy that comes along for the ride.
