Yes, I agree, this is almost as bad as people who move to the 
country where there is no QRN. What challenge is there in that? 
I understand that some of these guys can actually hear the DX they 
are calling all of the time and not just on brief QSB peaks. If we
allow this "cheating" to continue, who knows, these rural renegades
may be emboldened to the point where they feel no shame in putting
up directional receive antennas. We can't allow this to happen.
