If ever there was a group of operators who should be
classified separately, it is remote operators.
Why? Because the facts are that -
1. Those operators are at all times communicating over the
internet.
2. Without the internet, there would be no communications
whatsoever with operators who are not on the internet.
They are not radio amateurs, they are hybrid-communications
amateurs.
Mike asks - Is there supposed to be some sort of "shame"
attached to operating remotely?
The answer is "Yes, because you're on the internet".

"In an internet age it is, at first glance, democratic to
say that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That
is surely true. It is however a fatal step to then claim
that all opinions are equal. Some opinions are backed by
fact. Others are not. And those that are not backed by
fact are worth considerably less than those that are."
