I feel the same way about microwave acivity around here (east central
Illinois). In the September contest I had equipment for all bands through
10 GHz for my QRP portable operation. That equipment took a lot of effort
to build. I only worked one station on 2304 and no one else I worked had
any higher bands. If a Rover happened nearby, I'd gladly work him in as
many grid squares as he wanted to go to. I know this isn't the same as
"grid circling" but I do see the point about no one else to work.
