Actually I'm 'shrinking' the point, not stretching it.

If a 'non-amateur' communications link is 'cheating' then the length of that 
link is immaterial, isn't it?

Paul, in a direct email, makes an apparent exception to his rule by 
conceding that "anything goes in the 500-metre circle at each end of the 
QSO".  Translation:  "It's not cheating if it is on your own property."

I'm interested in knowing the rationale for this logical disconnect in his 
rule.

Hans,

You're stretching it to the point of ridiculous.
Please stick to the "boy and his hobby" as you've always greatly mastered in 
the past.
