[CQ-Contest] KU1CW location

[Michael Adams]

I take the comment, "we remote-capable stations are not trying to fool anyone or gain some sort of geographical or unfair advantage" to mean that most remote operators are upfront about where their station is. An ethical remote operator in a DX black hole operating a station in W1-land isn't trying to compete with black hole based stations; he's competing with other W1 stations

Is there an advantage to operating remote? Yes. Generally the advantage is "more fun", although the precise nature of that additional fun varies by op.

Isn't contesting supposed to be about maximising fun among all of us?

IMHO, with the exception of those living in antenna restricted communities,
or having other restrictions, I must disagree. As with most everything done
in a competitive environment, if it doesn't provide an advantage, why
bother? Whom, among us, doesn't believe that there is a geographical
advantage to live on/near the East coast, in DX contests?
