Yes, it is a hobby, but a lot of people spent a lot of time, money, and
lugged their eqpt half-way around the world for it. That's a lot of
effort for a competition.where some participants have an unfair advantage.
I agree there's no way to provide a level playing field, but I believe
the Russians came the closest with the FD-style setup. There are ways
to get even closer to a level playing field.
And last, for the record, I currently have no radio to turn off :.) I
relocated about a year ago and sold everything before moving.
Hopefully, we'll get something on the air by the end of the year.
