So where your butt sits determines if it is ham radio?
I really don't understand those that want to limit the participation in
contests. Are we not better off with more people contesting than less?
I think so. Running remote places most at a disadvantage. What is it
about remote operation that scares you?
What if I can't drive myself to the station because I am recovering from
an illness or a myriad of other reasons. Under your rules I am out of
luck.
Remote operating is going to open the world of HF and contesting to many
that have never had that option before.
Repeaters is not Ham Radio and to think I thought I had heard it all.

Sorry Tom,
But 'the opponents' are not amused by being accused of being jealous
or anything like that.
Again, for the record; I very much respect all the work and effort
done for enabling a remote HF station.
I understand what it serves, especially for those who during the week
suffer from a small lot, hampered by noise, antena restrictions
etc..etc.. I would do the same. But for the HF contest weekend: get
your butt over there and put it in the seat.
Funny(not) that *our* opponents have a hard time accepting that other
people think different and share their opinion.

The opponents don't want some well-heeled guy buying an oceanfront
lot, building a big contest station and beating the locals. People
don't like carpetbaggers. That's about it.
