I like the new categories except for the remote receiver part. Guys using
remote receivers are going to effect the scores and fun of people not in
the extreme categories. For instance, if I am SOSB160 QRP (or HP with a
crappy ant like in my case) and I can hear a JA from my QTH in NY and I call
him and he comes right back to me because he is using a remote receiver 10
miles from me. What fun is that? You are taking the DX part out of the
contest. What if there are 100 guys in 100 different countries on 160 using
remote receivers in NY and I work them all using 5W to a coat hanger and they
send me a QSL card afterward will ARRL accept them for DXCC?
