[CQ-Contest] Remote Contest Operation

[Gerry Hull]

But you do have answers, Wayne!

Your answer is to put remote operation in a different category.    That's
no answer.

Let's say you live in a beautiful house where there are antenna covenants.
  You have the resources to build a super station.
So, you buy some farmland out in the country, and put up a 5-tower,
11-antenna super station.   Why should you be restricted to contesting
in your own category because you remoted your station?  You've actually
done MORE work to set that up.
