[VHFcontesting] one stop (pass) grids

[frank bechdoldt]

I think Ev has good intentions on othe one pass grid idea.  However it is not practical, fair (oh gosh I said fair, look out) nor good for stationary contestants.
 
If the point is to work as many people as possible why should I ignore someone if I am in a grid for a 5 minute leg of a road only to get there later at my desired local.  This happens all the time with roads.  I just stop and work em if I hear em. Why should I or the home station loose a qso oppertunity due to a crooked road.  
 
I do see the point of it stoping circlers.  But the better way to do this is to either engineer the rules to match the intent of the contest, change the intent of the contest to match the rules, or have the guts to review or judge people's actions to see if they are within the rules you laid out.
