[CQ-Contest] SO2R REMOTE CONTESTING

[Bill Parry]

I agree with Bill....I don't particularly like it but I agree. I think the
most important point he made was the last one. "The key behavior we're
looking to prevent is the use of multiple receiving and transmitting sites."
This seems so obvious that we assume that this isn't or won't be a problem.
As the time passes, more and more will have the capability and ingenuity to
have multiple receiving sites. Just saying that it isn't allowed is really
not enough. How would we know if someone was doing this? The receiving
antenna is a passive device. It will certainly modify the propagation
advantage that the east coast has in the DX contest and others have in the
SS.
