I won't repeat the points others have raised in response...but I would like to
challenge one assumption -- that operators have an advantage over
builder+operators.
In the US, a growing number of hams are living in communities where antennas
are severely restricted or prohibited.
In general, I'd think that a person who owns/builds their own home station has
a distinct advantage over folks who need to go elsewhere (either physically or
via remote control).
In radiosport, there is no perfect, "fair" contest. Once you accept that, quit
stressing, and move on, contests are a lot more fun. Everybody who gets on and
makes as many contacts as they can given their circumstances is a winner.

There is a clear benefit for the people who only learn how to operate.
They have been free from all other burden and they can concentrate to cover
only a fraction of skills of the owner+builder operated stations.
