Ev, Ward:
I agree completely...this is on reason why the internet
discussions of VHF contesting get so heated...you *might*
get some level of agreement within a region but one-size-fits-all
is difficult across North America.
See previous tirades on rover rules, captive rovers, ....
Now, if everyone else would just avoid calling on *my* frequency,
144.200 MHz, things would go better :-)
