CAC studies rovers

The ARRL Contest Advisory Committee (CAC) is studying the scoring
for rovers in VHF contests.  In particular they are looking at the
impact of rover scoring on club competition in the January VHF
Sweepstakes.  The committee invites input on the following proposal:

"Rovers are not eligible for Club Aggregate Competition.  Rovers may
not engage in the practice of Grid Circling, which is defined as
the premeditated (not coincidental) act of two or more Rover
stations roving to the same locations at the same times and working
each other, regardless of whether or not they work anyone else.
This specifically includes family members traveling in the same or
different vehicles."

The following may also be included in the proposal:

"Rovers who are suspected of Grid Circling will be given a chance
to demonstrate they were not before their logs are disqualified."
