I wouldn't know who their customers are, or how many customers they have.

I only care how someone can use my station.

I don't really understand the fuss. The last good DXCC's were when we had a 
mileage limit. Even then, someone could use a second site. It was actually 
common to use second sites. W1BU did it from a swamp, even W1BB had two 
stations. People used BC towers, it wasn't their stuff. One guy used a VOA 
antenna system. Everyone used to admire that. People would go to other 
stations as far back as I can remember.

People come here and operate all the time. They work new countries.

Now, suddenly, it is so unfair. How can we survive?
