But you do have answers, Wayne!
Your answer is to put remote operation in a different category. That's
no answer.
Let's say you live in a beautiful house where there are antenna covenants.
You have the resources to build a super station.
So, you buy some farmland out in the country, and put up a 5-tower,
11-antenna super station. Why should you be restricted to contesting
in your own category because you remoted your station? You've actually
done MORE work to set that up.

So many good points remind me of the Point Counterpoint senero on TV I
have no answers I all know it techknoligy is moving at light speed and
that addaptation in amature radio is taking place befor our eys. I have
no isse with that in general, but were talking about it's implatation in
"Contesting" Each governing body each contest sponsor will dictate
what's ok. So a good OPEN discussion imo is a productive exercise. The
remote operation is a new can of worms to deal with. Heck I spent 1,000 of
hours building a 5 tower 11 antenna and all that go's with it, so my
opinion my be skewed. eligible ? Illegal ? in the spirit of ham radio
? I say go for the gold.... but if in a completive environment the field
must be divided with a place for the that class of opperation ROFPH (
Remote operation from penthouse ) ? Or ROMM ( remote operation maritime
mobil ) While in hot tub. Bottom line IMHO as the rules now stand , all
radio equipment must be connecte
d and at the same location , and classifiy the remote opperation for
what it is. REMOTE Wayne, W3EA Going out and disconnect my Receiving
array as Lightning is forecast this after noon. nothing remote here !
