JT1XYZZ runs 1 milliwatt in Ulan Bator on 1840 KHz which is heard by his
"remote receiver" and is accessible to the public on the Internet. JT1XYZZ can
also be heard real time on the Internet on his website. JT1XYZ calls CQ and
indicates he is listening on 1845 KHz. JT1XYZ then access the Internet to a
remote receiver which is open to the public on 1845 KHz which is linked to
other remote receivers on four continents.
JT1XYZ can run a pile up for 24 hours using this method as he is a rare
multiplier.
All that is required to make a "QSO" is to be heard by the remote receiver on
1845 KHz.
JT1XYZ is actually being controlled through the Internet and the"operator"
is sitting in a chair in Hollywood California, USA. JT licensing regulations
do not mention anything about remote control operation. Since it is not
prohibited, it must be assumed to be allowed.
W6XYZZ runs one watt and is heard by the remote receiver on 1845 KHz. He
listens on the Internet to the JT1XYZZ remote receiver tuned to 1840 KHz and
makes a "QSO." He thinks this is fun and works other "extreme" stations in the
same manner. He decides to not bother "tuning" the ham bands for the 4-5 hours
he has available for the contest weekend.
I am selfish. I want W6XYZZ to bother and actually tune the bands and work me.
I know that the majority of operators have limited time to spend during the
contest weekend and if they are chasing "extreme" stations, that is time taken
away from actual on time activity. The majority of stations that are on during
CQWW just give out QSOs and are not competing for awards.
If we are trying to create a new concept to contesting, all W6XYZZ is doing is
to put out one watt to be heard by a "remote" station, and then just using the
Internet. Other people have created the "remote receiver" setups and he is just
using them.
"Extreme " seems more like Internet gaming then "wireless radio."
Why does this nonsense have to occur during CQWW?
Why cannot it be a separate event?
