[CQ-Contest] VY1AAA @ VY1JA will be QRV for CW SS...

[W0MU]

I have one question.

If the concern is that there is no cable attached to the radio to the 
headphone, what do we do with people that use bluetooth adapters to 
transmit the radio audio to their hearing aids or people that use 
wireless headphones?

Neither of those devices use amateur radio frequencies for the wireless 
part.  Are those folks now remote operators?

What is the difference?  Why is one ok  while using the internet cables 
is not?

I have a cable for my headphones and keyer, both about 4 ft long.....so I’m sitting in the shack, at the radio, with headphones on, operating the keyer.......now, imagine that I add 35 ft to those cables, and I’m sitting on the commode, still operating....it’s still radio, right ????/ Now, imagine I add 1200 miles of cable to my headphones and key, I’m STILL OPERATING RADIO !!!!!!!
