I am one rover who doesn't agree that it is a problem. I guess if you have a
"win at all cost" mentality, it might be a problem. If you do out for fun
(heaven forbid a hobby is fun) then who cares what the other guy does.

Todd KC9BQA says,
John, let's not be confused or deceived. The "win at all cost" mentality
is embraced by a very small group of stations that consistently craft a
strategy that creates a huge score without working as many amateurs as
possible. Nor do they use antennas that are capable of working beyond the
range they determined as optimum for their strategy. If more rovers decide
to imitate this strategy, it will be a bad thing for V/UHF Contesting.
So a most impressive outlay of $$ and equipment, and planning all goes
toward an effort that turns its back on the rank-and-file contesting
community. What a waste. But hey, they're winners... <spit>
Folks, John's right about one thing. You'd better do it for fun, first
and foremost. If it's not fun, what's the point?
