You're losing me, Paul #2, when you say point-to-point, in the case of a VE3
remotely using a station in KH6, is his point in Hawaii or Canada? I don't
see why this is such a big deal. I think the point on that end of the QSO
is obviously in Hawaii.
When you say "point-to-point (single-point to single-point),
person-to-person, solely-RF-based technology", are you therefore saying that
because this station has two possible points that it should not be allowed
to be a part of the sport? That seems counter-productive.
