[VHFcontesting] Grid Circling numbers

[Jim Forsyth]

John, it appears there was only a handfull of people that considered it a 
problem and they made a lot of noise several times a year. I don't think 
anybody does grid circling any more except in the unlimited class. The 100Q 
rule killed it but the same guys keep on complaining about it even though 
they succeeded it getting the rules changed to put a stop to it.
