With remote operation, communications (between operators) are over, and

How can we tell?  Simple - disconnect the internet/Starlink and see how
many contacts (exchanges of information) you have then. <...>"

The communications are dependent of Amateur Radio. How can we tell? Simple, if the ionosphere does not support the communications on the Amateur Bands, see how many contacts you will have. Even with Starlink, there will be zero QSOs. So where is the dependency?

I will be operating remotely from KP4. So this will be like having 175km long paddles and beadphones cables.
