Appears to me that the microwave rover has to work a single station, and
if the rover works that station enough times to give the single station
VUCC, then the rover earns VUCC/r. That unlike below 1.3 GHz its not
enough to work stations from the required number of grids it has to be
essentially one station. Bah Humbug!
