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.
Anyone operating remote is dependent on the
internet (typically) at all times to have
any communications whatsoever with other
contesters.
As such, they're not ham radio QSOs, they're
internet/ham radio QSOs. The bottom line is
they're different, very different.
