I STRONGLY disagree. Exactly how is this different from those same 
operators driving several hours (of flying) to someone's super-station, 
like W3LPL, K3LR, W8JI, NQ4I, N0NI, W0AIH, WB9Z, K9CT, W7RN, N6RO, 
VE3EJ, K1TTT, KH6LC, KL7RA, and hundreds of others around the world, to 
do a multi-multi? The vast majority of the EU stations we work in 
contests are club stations.

Except for the guy who built the station, and maybe someone who helps to 
maintain it, they're all hired guns. As I see it, the internet simply 
saves those guys a lot of gas money.
