Well, it isn't for lack of trying.  If nothing is accomplished, then that is a very sad statement about the VUAC.  They made some very good steps forward when they came up with the 3 tier rover syste

Hmmm... I don't see a real difference between pack roving and grid circling.  I'm willing to consider that there is one, but the end result is really the same.  I'm also skeptical of allowing more th

I would be 100% in favor of both of your suggestions.  Both are minor changes and would affect nobody other than the circle group.  Every other station would either benefit or be unaffected.  There i

There are none that fall into that category.  Take a look at the line scores for June and January and you'll see that only one station in RL would be affected and he's the guy with the circling group

Wait a second!  That's not the case.  Not at all.  There are some of us who would like to see further changes and have made respectful and cogent arguments as to why we feel that way.  There's no bic

Perhaps we need to be asking a different question here.  Its obvious that a LOT of non-rovers and even a couple of rovers don't see why there is a problem.  For those of you who don't get the problem

Nope.  You didn't.  You just used a passive/aggressive tactic to indict anybody who thinks there is a problem with the current set of rules.  I started a new discussion based upon your post asking fo

OK, but by that logic, Unlimited Multi-Op is a "pointless" category as well.  It would mean that there should not even be different categories.  Is that really what we want?  After all, why should hi

I don't think elimiating grid reactivation would do much.  For absolute maximum score, given an unlimited amount of time, that would help, but a huge score could still be racked up by coordinated mov

The last time this came up, I asked the experienced rovers how often they had ever made uncoordinated contacts with other rovers.  One guy said his maximum was 30 but that was only once and never hap

I think some points are being missed here.  I wasn't around when the concept of the multi-op stations began.  Let's say that until last year, there was no such thing.  Any high power station could ha

We don't need any more classes.  The class already exists.  Its called Unlimited Rover.  All that needs to happen is a bit more tweaking of the rules to better define that class and encourage those w

I think a lot of good has come out of this conversation.  I hope we will see some revisions as a result.  One final point I want to stress is that I don't begrudge the packs and circlers.  I did, but

I wonder the same thing.  Take our grid circle buddies for example.  The winner of the limited rover category had exactly 77 QSOs in each of the 4 microwave bands in which he operated.  Is there any

I'm actually neutral about making logs public.  I really don't see that it will change the behavior of the grid circlers.  I do think it could address other issues such as outright cheating, but that
