[CQ-Contest] Remote contest operation

[Barry]

Paul,
Perhaps where you live, antennas aren't being legislated out of 
existence.  In the US, unless one lives in an old neghbo(u)rhood, 
without restrictive covenants and homeowner's associations, or in the 
middle of nowhere, it is very difficult to find desirable places to live 
where antennas can be installed.  That's why remote stations are popping 
up all over the place.  It's a shame the ARRL doesn't spend more effort 
on this.
