You're losing me, Paul #2, when you say point-to-point, in the case of a VE3 
remotely using a station in KH6, is his point in Hawaii or Canada?  I don't 
see why this is such a big deal.  I think the point on that end of the QSO 
is obviously in Hawaii.

When you say "point-to-point (single-point to single-point), 
person-to-person, solely-RF-based technology", are you therefore saying that 
because this station has two possible points that it should not be allowed 
to be a part of the sport?  That seems counter-productive.
