[NLRS] Reverse VUCC Award Program - question re: contacts above 1.3 GHz

[w0zq at aol.com]

Jerry has it correct.  On 2304 and up, as a rover, to be awarded VUCC/R you need to work any one fixed target station (example, W0ZQ) from five different grids as a rover (example, K0MHC/R).   The definition of a fixed target station is a station that stays within a 300 meter circle.

You can also work more than one VUCC/R per band.  For example, working all the stations on Buck Hill (EN34ir) from five or more grids would earn you a VUCC/R with each station.   

Arliss, W7XU, is the current program administratior.

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
ny number of grids may be worked. Above that frequency "target stations
orked must all be within the 300 meter circle" that is specified by VUCC
ules. The location of the target stations must be indicated on their cards
y at least the four digit grid, or preferably their lat/lon or some other
ndication that they were inside the same circle. The rover, of course, is
bviously required to move around."
 
When I parse this rule, it implies (to me) that all stations that I work
bove 1.3 GHz (from my rover) must always be within a single, predefined 300
eter circle. The only situation that seems likely is in the case of buck
ill where over time, all stations will be operating within the confines of
he hill top. I don't know of any other single, predefined 300 meter circle
here I'm likely to find multiple stations, over time.
 
Can someone elaborate on this rather significant constraint? Perhaps I'm
nterpreting the text (in quotes) too literally.
