[CQ-Contest] Packet debate

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

If you haven't noticed the bitching about SO2R operation, just wait until  
SO2L (Locations) hits the fan. 
 
For contests to succeed, the average to reasonably good guy has to think he  
is at least in the game. Those are the people who fill up our  logs.
 
Since the typical ham is not going to install a remote receiving location  in 
addition to his station at home, he's not going to believe (correctly) that  
he is in the game against those who do. 
 
I suppose that if one could easily send down the return link not  received 
audio, but just a replicated RF spectrum from the remote site, equally  
available to all, you might have something.  But then why put RF into the  air at all, 
instead of just into the RF server?

Yep, and  this is why I think there's no need to restrict use of  remote
receivers.
