Since it now says:  "Remote receiving sites within 100 KM are okay," and
I note it's plural in one or more places....  I guess this means I can
have, at least hypothetically, as many remote receivers as I can tap
into within a 100 KM radius of here.  There are several good ones.  NQ4I
and W8JI come to mind.  With not much work I can feed several into my
station and run them in diversity - quite an advantage.  Or run wideband
audio from those receivers to here and put separate skimmers on them -
with their antennas pointing in multiple directions.  

Also of note:  the categories are single-op and multi-op....the multi-op
category is not called multi-single and there is no prohibition of
having more than one signal on the band at the same time.  I can run
SO2R, HP, here on TB using some canceling techniques built into the
station.  Is it okay if I run (CQ) on both radios and tie up two QRGs?
That's multi-transmitter, not multi-op.  It's even easier to run full
SO2R on the band using remote receivers as my transmitters won't block
those receivers.  

I don't plan to do most of this BTW, but I will run and S&P at the same
time - traditional SO2R.  Ill have the interlock off - there is no
prohibition against two signals on at the same time.  This capability
has been around for 20 years or more BTW.

I'm with Dave K1TTT and Pete N4ZR.  The rules continued to be confused
and inconsistent with available technology.

See ya on TB.
