Now, the serious M/M's (and SO2R folks) have a much easier way to
eliminate intra-station interference - just create a receiving site 50
miles away and you can hear a LOT better on the same and other
bands while you are transmitting.  This would be a HUGE advantage
for single-band and M/M stations.  

This would probably make a remote receiving site NECESSARY 
for serious SO2R operations as well.
