The difference is $$$. It costs about the same as a Dxpedition to the Caribbean
to rent a pay for use station for a 48 hour contest. It's definitely not within
the budget of many contesters. Of course you could always build your own remote
station for your personal use that's at the same level as those rent a contest
stations.JeffSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Distributed Contesting All remotes are not the same. There's a huge difference
between a rent-a-superstation in Maine remote vs. a guy who lives in a condo or
deed restricted community who puts up his own remote station. AD8J in
Asheville, NC, comes to mind. And are not the remotes in Maine all competing
against each other, and not against ordinary stations back in Ohio or
California or wherever?73 - Jim K8MR-----Original Message-----From: Paul
