uhhhhhhhhhhhhh,,, they ,(the operators), are actually physically
there--they are not in my opinion , hired guns, that description is
unnecessarily unkind and incorrect , in my opinion, they are operating
radio(s) on site..on site being the key
I appreciate the efforts of w3lpl's et al stations and their
efforts... Other than you having an apparent issue with big gun
stations and club , the (your), problem is????
for the record I am about as far from being a big gun station as you
could get..
I guess it is up to each of us to decide what is right and ethical
, but for me, until I am slapped into a nursing home,,, Ill take the on
site,(real radio) , every time...guess it is personal choices dx 73

I STRONGLY disagree. Exactly how is this different from those same
operators driving several hours (of flying) to someone's
super-station, like W3LPL, K3LR, W8JI, NQ4I, N0NI, W0AIH, WB9Z, K9CT,
W7RN, N6RO, VE3EJ, K1TTT, KH6LC, KL7RA, and hundreds of others around
the world, to do a multi-multi? The vast majority of the EU stations
we work in contests are club stations.
Except for the guy who built the station, and maybe someone who helps
to maintain it, they're all hired guns. As I see it, the internet
simply saves those guys a lot of gas money.
