[CQ-Contest] Fwd: Expeditions remote

[Jeff Clarke]

  Why are we talking about DXpeditions and RIB's on a contesting mailing 
list? Remote contesting has been going on for awhile. Some do it 100% 
and others hybrid. (some remote operators/ others on site) Look at 3830. 
Just about every contest someone is remote. K4BAI and I did it during 
COVID to still be able to put PJ4 on the air. I've also operated 
remotely to WW4LL for many years. Recently I've done some contests 
operating remotely to K1TTT.  If you look some active stations like 
PJ2T, K1LZ, NJ4P, ZF5T etc... have some of their operators operate 
remotely.

Personally I find operating remotely to be very convenient. I can sleep 
in my own bed and eat my own food. Plus it takes a burden off the host 
so they don't have to plan all this stuff in addition to getting ready 
for the contest.
