Notice how ARRL is endorsing all of this. read that first paragraph,
especially: "The scattered K3TN team worked *via the Internet *through
the station of Jack Hammett, K4VV". I thought our hobby was about radio,
not internet.

Hi Guys,
I am really & truly surprised that nobody here has raised so much as even
an eyebrow at this story:
http://www.arrl.org/news/no-one-in-the-shack-as-station-logs-4200-contacts-i
n-arrl-dx-cw-contest
The whole notion---to me, at any rate---compromises the very essence & the
"...joie de vivre!" of operating on 160-meters, don't you think...? And to
imagine that one of the "perpetrators" in all this is actually exuberant
about his accomplishment...
"...'No one was in the K4VV shack for the entire contest!' said Mike L*,
W0**, who took part in the contest via K4** from his own shack in
Virginia..."
This too is "progress"...? Oh well, I guess maybe it is. Time marches on,
things evolve, things "de-evolve," & nothing stays quite the same.
