The opponents don't want some well-heeled guy buying an oceanfront lot,
building a big contest station and beating the locals. People don't
like carpetbaggers. That's about it.

Why is this such a bitter pill for some people to swallow? The station is
in one location and that is the location that counts, That is where the RF
comes from and goes to. When you add the hardware to operate remote you are
also adding lag time into the mix and complexity that must be maintained on
BOTH ends. You are putting yourself at an operating disadvantage to maybe
get a scoring advantage. Or in my case just to get on the air for the
contest at all. I spend half of my time away from home working including
every other weekend. So the "purists" want to tell me I have to miss those
contests totally rather than get on the air and put out some Q's. Thanks a
lot.

Nothing has been said which persuades me that it is "bad" for the operator
to be remote from the station, whether the station is across town, across
the state, across the continent, or across an ocean from the operator.
I am not a rich man. Some day I may be reduced to a home without space
for antennas to contest. Remote operation may be my only way to enjoy ham
radio. Why do you care where the radio is located, so long as the contest
entry reflects that location and the pertinent rules of the regulatory
body(ies) are observed.

Although the rich big boys would not like this rule, there should be a rule
that says:
“The remote operator must be the same DXCC county as the operating
location of the transmitters and receivers.”
Short and sweet. Not ambiguous as to both elements, where Joe is and where
the RF is transmitted and received.
This will prevent Joe Blow from “renting” or using a station in a
favourable location without having to have gone through the grief, travel
time,
and money that would be expended otherwise.
Radio Sport should not be based on how much money or how clever someone
can be to do less then the other person in order to compete.
One person spend the time and energy to go to P4 and operates, a second
person is remote into a station on P4.
