I have one question.

If the concern is that there is no cable attached to the radio to the headphone, what do we do with people that use bluetooth adapters to transmit the radio audio to their hearing aids or people that use wireless headphones?

Neither of those devices use amateur radio frequencies for the wireless part. Are those folks now remote operators?

What is the difference? Why is one ok while using the internet cables is not?

but it IS radio !!!! I have a cable for my headphones and keyer, both about 4 ft long.....so I’m 
sitting in the shack, at the radio, with headphones on, operating the keyer.......now, imagine that I add 
35 ft to those cables, and I’m sitting on the commode, still operating....it’s still radio, 
right ????/ Now, imagine I add 1200 miles of cable to my headphones and key, I’m STILL OPERATING

Thanks to a lot of work from J and the remote team, Hal, W1NN, will operate
SOHP in November SS via remote from his home in Ohio.
The fact that something can be done does not
necessarily mean there is merit in doing it.
And the fact that something is being done by
radio amateurs does not necessarily mean it is
amateur radio.

W1NN, "operating" from his home in Ohio, will be no
different to the millions of people networked by a
commercial communications utility at that time, and
fully dependent on it all at times.

In SS, W1NN will communicate with other people who
are radio amateurs.  In his case, however, the
signal path between W1NN and anyone he works will
be from Ohio to the Yukon to wherever.

The portion of the signal path from Ohio to the
Yukon is internet-hosted, and the complete signal
path is a composite of internet and amateur-band
