[CQ-Contest] Fwd: Expeditions remote

[Yuri]

Then why other people should care about what you personally care about?
I read all these comments, and it's all "I, me, me, my".
Someone hasn't left his house for 30 years and now all the DXpeditions 
need to be remote?
Another one is unable to build his own station, and he's praising remote 
now as "the way to go".

Like it was said, it's a hobby. Let others have their opinions and 
respect them. I can definitely understand Paul's frustration. HAM Radio 
now is definitely not the HAM Radio we all knew when we were young. So, 
let him vent a bit, at least, and don't call him a "troll".

As for remote operation - I think, it's more of "Who benefits?" (or "Cui 
bono?

question.
Soon, when most of "old timers" who were able to build their own 
stations, would die, we'll have a bunch guys sitting in their apartments 
with laptops/high speed internet trying to connect to a limited number 
of Remote stations in order to "operate", and the owners of these remote 
sites would just start raising $$$ for the service, like it is happening 
with everything else on our lives now.
Is it wrong? I don't know.
Would I personally like it? Definitely not.
