This idea is about technology. Its impact to the number of stations to work is
slightly above 0. All these stations were interlocked as well. Not a

It got more people on the air for the contest who may not have had a chance to
get on the air at all.
It is no different then 10 top contesters travelling somewhere to do a M/M.
The impact to the number of stations on the air is not even measurable.
