My feeling is the transmit and receive antennas need to be in the same
location, whether it is a local or remote operation. That removes the variable
of having the possibility of receive antennas at more than one location giving
a possible decided advantage due to propagation and/or noise.
If the station (transit and receive antennas) is remote then so indicate on
the score report like we do for ARRL with the check box for SO2R.
I don't want to see the remote stations shut out. I feel they are a viable
asset going forward and helps a lot of antenna restricted Hams. I feel they
are somewhat the same as me traveling to another location to rent a house
that has antennas. Someday that may be my only option for operating?
I have a couple new plasma TV's near me and a small lot which limits me on
receive antennas and lots of QRM from the TV's. I do not feel I have a
sufficient reason to use remote receive antennas for contesting or DXCC. I
feel I have some choices:
- Rent or setup a remote station (transmit and receive antennas)
- Move
- Travel and operate from someone else's station or another station that I
have set up..
- Put up with the noise and do the best I can from my present station.
