Question guys
Why isn't 75 or 80 meters used more in the late afternoons during the contest. I question this because when I go roving, I do have a shortened dipole for 40-80 meters, which I wish I could use on more than 40 meters.
The band this time of the year is great for local communication, especially since the summer static is gone.
There are many rovers that loose monster amounts of contacts during the afternoon.
Perhaps an activity hour would be an idea. 
I usually can work 200 contacts quickly from a county, but this amount could be 300 if guys would get off 20 and 40 for an hour of two
This is only my thoughts from roving experience
