Not to really pick on AA5JG but to pick at his point.
In what you said, just turn in a check log if you are doing it for fun. But a
contest is a contest and there needs to be an agreement on acceptable behavior
for the contest to be seen as honorable.
This was the attempt of the unlimited rover but the result was lost in the
shuffle and intent of “doing no harm.” The fix for this can not be done in
baby steps. Or the ARRl needs to officially endorse team grid circling as the
path to victory and encourage the formation of teams to make short distance
QSOS around arbitrary intersections.
Can anyone else give me an example how to post a huge score without circling?
And to Jim’s question, yes circling still goes on. The key to thwart the 100
qso limit is to hand out 8 lunch box stations and travel in a pack as what
happened last year. Now you have 800 guaranteed QSOs from 7 partners, none of
them owning their own gear. Just look at some of the rover winners all
working each other last year as a caravan of different classes of rovers
feeding upon themselves to win all three categories.
This is why there should be a 20-30 percent limit on rover to rover contacts in
any rover’s log, except for unlimited. Or change the rule that encourages one
to work as many stations as possible.
