I don't think that would work.  Say I am in FN32 and an unknown rover to me is 
driving from FN22 through FN32 to FN31.  He is going to hit three grids.  I am 
a "slower" rover and stay in FN32 for 2 or 3 hours.  Does that mean I don't get 
credit for the QSO's I have with him from the FN32 or FN31 grids?  We are not 
grid circling, we are contesting.
