p.s.
I have no problem with any kind of remote operation (even in contest)
I don?t have problem with renting station over internet or what ever
It´s better to have some activity as no activity!
I made over 30 000 QSOs in last year´s using remote station and I am happy
and proud about it!

I have a sympathy with Pete's opinion. However, similar concerns have been
repeated since the dawn of amateur radio with regard to whatever technology
was new or novel at the time.

It seems to me that anyone is entitled to make money out of contesting.
Should all goods and services be free just because we regard it as a hobby?
We need to adjust to new, relevant, technology and commercial services.
