I don't understand the reverse VUCC rule for working stations above 1.3 GHz:
http://www.csvhfs.org/vuccdesc.html
3. At frequencies below 1.3 GHz (and Satellite) any number of stations in
any number of grids may be worked. Above that frequency "target stations
worked must all be within the 300 meter circle" that is specified by VUCC
rules. The location of the target stations must be indicated on their cards
by at least the four digit grid, or preferably their lat/lon or some other
indication that they were inside the same circle. The rover, of course, is
obviously required to move around."
When I parse this rule, it implies (to me) that all stations that I work
above 1.3 GHz (from my rover) must always be within a single, predefined 300
meter circle. The only situation that seems likely is in the case of buck
hill where over time, all stations will be operating within the confines of
the hill top. I don't know of any other single, predefined 300 meter circle
where I'm likely to find multiple stations, over time.
Can someone elaborate on this rather significant constraint? Perhaps I'm
interpreting the text (in quotes) too literally.
