Hi Guys,

I am really & truly surprised that nobody here has raised so much as even an 
eyebrow at this story:

http://www.arrl.org/news/no-one-in-the-shack-as-station-logs-4200-contacts-in-arrl-dx-cw-contest

The whole notion---to me, at any rate---compromises the very essence & the "...joie de 
vivre!" of operating on 160-meters, don't you think...? And to imagine that one of the 
"perpetrators" in all this is actually exuberant about his accomplishment...

“...'No one was in the K4VV shack for the entire contest!' said Mike L*, W0**, who 
took part in the contest via K4** from his own shack in Virginia..."

This too is "progress"...? Oh well, I guess maybe it is. Time marches on, things evolve, 
things "de-evolve," & nothing stays quite the same.
