Naw. Don't tell someone else how to spend their time and money. You don't
know the details. For many, family comes before time and money. It's
absent from your comment. It's a major factor in my contesting decisions.
My station is 16 miles from my house. It's a decent station. Being able to
access it from my laptop either from home or away on business or pleasure
would be really slick. I would be on the air more if I could do this. I
would make more contacts if I could do this.
If I operated a contest this way and won, it would not occur to me that I
was somehow deserving of being in a separate category. I'd feel like I won
the contest fair and square whether I was down the street or halfway around
the world.
