Hmmm,
What does this do for things like DXCC and multipliers? I wonder if
we really want fully automated, remote control stations in desireable
DX locations, with access sold to the highest bidder.
This rule could have a great impact on both contesting and DX-ing, and
needs to be carefully examined for unintended consequences.
