[VHFcontesting] Spring time rover thread

[frank bechdoldt]

Ah yes spring is in the air.......

 

Someone mentioned contest season and rover threads. Yes it is that time of year.
 
            I was considering grid circling on the upper microwave bands.  I wanted to know if which was better a good set of Leopold field glasses for looking for the thumbs up from my circling partners 600 yards away across the grid corner or is it better to use a spotting scope so I can keep one eye on the VFO to track any frequency drift in my transverters.  Also, is there a laser filter for optics in case my buddies accidentally shoots me in the eye with thier lasers?
 
If we to string a piano wire and chilly cans between our two lunchbox stations to coordinate, would that be a rule violation or an ethical violation of the spirit of said rules or just a demonstration of innovation where rules are not clear?  Or would it be a land line coordination  even if it was solely sound powered?
 
Man where was this one for April Fools day =).
You need a thick skin and some humor tolerance to be on this reflector.
 
Have fun in the contests.
