John makes a very good point.

Every guest op has a host taking care of station issues, making meals, etc. It makes no difference whether a guest op is on site with a 3 ft long connection to the radio, or has a key or mic connection via the internet.

This rule is a step in the wrong direction and should be reconsidered.

Bart - the wording of the rule change for remote operations ("If another operator 
acts as the on-site control operator of the remote station you are using, the entry must 
be submitted in a multioperator category") implies that there is no such thing as a 
single-op remote entry.


How does the control-op issue compare to a physical guest op, where the station 
owner is still physically present during the contest? Should such guest 
operations be considered multi-op as well? If the issue is that the local 
control op *might* be required to take some action, the same is true of the 
station owner with a physically present guest op.
