I think the non-Rovers have way to many good ideas that seem to help them
and hurt us rovers. I was wondering if the Rover community would want to
take a polling sample of questions to see how we stand on the new proposals?
Where does the silent majority of Rovers stand? We could then take this poll
and send it to the ARRL as an indication of the Rover communities thoughts
on the proposed changes.

If anyone has a polling site like Yahoo, this would be a great thing to use
it on. Roverlog has used the Yahoo and its easy to use. If nobody has this
access I could probably do it by collecting e-mail and putting it on a web
site.

Examples of questions that pertain to the ARRL ideas for contesting
improvements:
1. Would you favor making the June contest a 50mhz - 1296mhz only?
		no
2. Would you favor the elimination of the August UHF contest?
		no
3. Would you favor giving stations only 1 point for contacting
		no
4. Do you favor reverting to the "OLD Rover Rules" ?
	equivocal
5. Do you favor changing the 10ghz and up contest to include 2.3ghz and up?
		no, I would favor a separate contest for 903 and up
6. Do you favor grid circulating with a category for that method?
		no, it is a waste of time and effort to have their name in the 
controversial headlights.
7. Do you favor captive rovering? (No=you might consider means to control
it)
		no
8. Do you think Rover participation has gone down in the past three years?
		no, au contraire, it's way up

These are just some of the things proposed that could help or hurt us.
