This is just not possible anymore and there are so many situations like
Greg experiences where the only hope to hear anything is by employing
new technology. Also the 100KM rule, if there is such a rule, is
intriguing because a remote RX in the BVI (a different DXCC country)
would really be nice now that I have a new ham a few blocks away running
a CQ machine during the contest in the DX window for the duration of the
contest. Problems such as this along with high urban QRN are much more
common and solution will be found. To arbitrarily block new innovations
and technology to solve some of these issues is to me not going in the
right direction. I think a better approach would be to allow for
different categories creating incentives for inovations, rather than
just outright ban them.
