But you do have answers, Wayne!
Your answer is to put remote operation in a different category. That's
no answer.
Let's say you live in a beautiful house where there are antenna covenants.
You have the resources to build a super station.
So, you buy some farmland out in the country, and put up a 5-tower,
11-antenna super station. Why should you be restricted to contesting
in your own category because you remoted your station? You've actually
done MORE work to set that up.
