NO! That is NOT what is being proposed. Rather, it is to allow the use
of more than one call at the same QTH with the same rig.

Utah. N3QE is very motivated - ask me how I know. But not everyone is
like N3QE. You're asking people to spend 8 hours of their time to operate;
sleep; drive to another QTH (3 to 50 miles away); operate; then drive to
another QTH.....
No, that is NOT what is being proposed.
And please, let's not start with EMCOMM. This is an ARRL
pipe dream to give the League relevancy in a world where ARRL is becoming
increasingly irrelevant.
For high population density areas, maybe, but NOT in low population
areas where many other hams live. Like in the Santa Cruz mountains of
NorCal, where I and my neighbors have no cell service at home, AT&T
wants to discontinue landlines, and we have earthquakes, wild fires that
destroy hundreds of homes, and storms that take power down for 4-5 days.
