Topband: Brave New World

[Cecil]

Sounds like phone sex to me....not my bag.

You can hang up a picture of whatever partner you like and call them your significant other...just can't substitute for being there.

Next big thing will be to drop a package station on Scarborough Reef and have a remote team operate it and call it a DXpedition and hand out DXCC credit for it....

Time to join AMSAT...

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.
