I thought an Automatic Station was never ever legal at all.  Except for 
a Beacon.

 ARRL is not allowing automated contacts for their awards programs

What I do not understand on all this is.
If the station is running on itself UN-attended.
Is that just not even legal. Never mind ethical?

Dave, that's interesting.
 If I remember correctly, there was a data buoy floating in the 
Pacific with an HF rig on it.  Hams could call the buoy and work it 
on FT8.  Because it reported grid location, callers could work 
different grids as the thing floated with the currents.
