Hmmm,

What does this do for things like DXCC and multipliers?  I wonder if
we really want fully automated, remote control stations in desireable
DX locations, with access sold to the highest bidder.

This rule could have a great impact on both contesting and DX-ing, and
needs to be carefully examined for unintended consequences.
