[VHFcontesting] Category alignment [was: one stop (pass) grids]

[Steve Clifford]

Another thing to consider is the casual rover.  I'm not talking about the
guy who plans a route that catches the corner of 11 different grids.  I'm
talking about the guy who has to work on Saturday and go to church on
Sunday.  He may have a few hours each day during a contest and may only
activate 2 or 3 grids.  He may even drive the same route both days.  Are we
going to tell that guy that he can't operate near his house more than once?
Its unrealistic and would kill the casual rover.  Its a non-starter.
