Mike, the difference is that on the DX Net, everyone was not using the same
transmitter and receiver.
I am not trying to protect my superior location from competition. It is on a
rock cliff directly south of Cleveland and 30 miles from KY. It is, on
balance, pretty good and I get my share of DX. Those guys over in the eastern
panhandle of WV, the suburbs of DC, now they have some prop worth protecting
:-)
Nowhere in my post did I say users of the paid remote or any remote were
abusing the rules. In fact, I said the remotes are in compliance with the DXCC
and FCC rules.
At some point, if everyone feels they have to spend $$ and use a remote
superstation to be competitive in Topband
DXing, you will see an impact in the pileups, especially short/marginal
openings.
As I said, it is what it is. I am generally a supporter of the technology. My
view of it is not through rose colored glasses.
We will all adjust.
