[CQ-Contest] Remote Contest Operation

[Wayne Kline]

 So many good points remind me of the Point  Counterpoint senero on TV I have no answers  I all know it techknoligy is moving at light speed and that addaptation  in amature radio is taking  place befor our eys.  I have no isse with  that in general, but were talking about it's implatation in "Contesting"  Each governing body  each contest sponsor will dictate  what's ok.  So a good OPEN discussion imo is a productive exercise.  The remote operation is a new can of worms to deal with. Heck  I spent 1,000 of hours building a 5 tower  11  antenna and all that go's with it, so my opinion my be skewed.       eligible ? Illegal ? in the spirit of ham radio ?   I say go for the gold.... but if in a completive environment the field must be divided  with a place for the that class of opperation  ROFPH  ( Remote operation from penthouse ) ?  Or  ROMM ( remote operation maritime mobil )  While in hot tub.  Bottom line IMHO as the rules now stand ,   all radio equipment must be connected  and at the  same location , and classifiy the remote opperation for what it is.  REMOTE  Wayne, W3EA  Going out and disconnect my  Receiving array as Lightning is forecast this after noon.  nothing remote here !
