Here's food for thought...
--- Single Operator ---
For simplicity sake let's assume a decently equipped
and skilled 2 meter station amasses 368 QSO-points
(368 QSO's!) and makes contact in 40 grids. This can
take most/all of 33 hours. The score: 14,720. Unique
stations contacted: 368.
Twenty two other stations duplicate that effort
(doubtful, but possible). Total score of all
participants: 323,840
--- Pack Rover ---
For simplicity sake let's assume three minimally
equipped 10-band rovers go to dance (what are the
chances? <g>). A rover stays in a single grid while
the other two circle through four. This takes 54
minutes (a true timeframe, according to N6MU/r's log).
The end result: 368 QSO-points and 40 grids (same as
above!) resulting in a single-grid 54-minute score of
14,720. Unique stations contacted: 2.
This process is repeated through 22 grids circles.
Total score of all participants: Over 6-million.
Number of participants: 3.
=====================================================
This is laughable.
