[VHFcontesting] Most wanted grids

[beamar]

I remember reading the original article in QST. But, I don't remember 
the methodology that was used to derive the map. I am not really into 
databases. I will let somebody else come up with a way to ascertain 
the most wanted grids. Rovers have a huge effect on the rareness of a 
grid square. Grids that do not have that many stations, that have 
active rovers in the region, are not that rare. To me, it is a service 
to the Amateur Community to activate a grid during a contest. The 
person who posted here, after the UHF contest, about hiking to a rare 
grid, on top of a mountain, is to be commended. As Mike said, none of 
this is cheap. My venture to EM 91, for the UHF contest, between 
equipment purchases and hotel, probably cost a little under $2K. That 
is a pittance compared to what Marshall & Co. spent to go to EL 84.
