I guess I'm surprised by this attitude. I had the impression (perhaps
it is incorrect) that European hams tend to live in urbanized places
where the conditions for ham radio contesting (RFI, line noise, small
lots) are unfavorable, and that consequently they tendto band together
to form clubs that can invest in rural locations. What is wrong, then,
if one or more of the operators log on to such a station remotely.
I *would* be opposed if, as someone has suggested, entrepreneurs set up
excellent stations and collected "rent" for allowing them to be used for
contesting. As I think I've said before, I don't even believe that
would be legal in the US. I hope not.

I checked and added arctic grade lubrication to a rotator.
DC wirings only.
I strongly claim that was a ham radio activity.
I had to shovel the snow away to access that motor and gear.
As I see my activity, it was about ham radio.
I'm sure the next X-box/Wii- HAM Radio game version-upgrade will have a "virtual
remote servicing option" , including your arctic grade lube :)
Seriously,
If you enter the game of contesting, please do the effort and leave out the
questionable shortcut.
Or, choose a lesser more viable contest goal/other category, when operating
from home.
You can have just as much fun.
If you neeeed the #10 entry, be prepared to walk the miles.
