>>>Owning a station is not even necessary.
Yes, Bob, you got it!
This is what is being promoted as a future of HAM Radio. All you have to do now
is to own a computer and save some $$$ to pay for the remote access to one of
the "big stations".
Obviously, not the HAM Radio you and I and many others enjoyed for the majority
of our lives.

Well I have been chasing DX for 54 years and I have most likely read
about your report of remote operation being OK for DXCC, tho I
really do not remember it now. All I can say is Wow, I think I
need to reread about this rule. You may remember my previous
posts of my dissatisfaction with ARRL rules pertaining to DXCC and
FT8. Now this.
Why did I work so hard to get DXCC of 286 on 40 meters when this is
available and FT8 to boot! Not cool Ria.
