Hi All -

Bruce brought up a point about the rovers and "grid circling."  I don't want 
to revisit this subject in full but I don't think there will ever be a rule 
that would totally outlaw this tactic.  We have rovers in our own area that 
do a fair bit of grid circling and run up big mult totals while running 
minimal stations.  No matter what the rule is, someone can exploit it for a 
bunch of points.  

I think a simple statement that says "no grid circling is allowed" would go a 
long way toward the spirit of the rule.  People know when they are grid 
circling and so will the ARRL.

Give the League your two cents on contesting/awards/VHF activity and let's 
see if our voice gets heard.
