Topband: Brave New World

[Jerry Keller (K3BZ)]

This wouldn't be much of a problem if the callsign goes with the 
station, not the operator.

The list operations were indeed like "shooting fish in a barrel", but at 
least (it seemed like) everyone used their own gun and their own 
bullets...i.e., their own station callsign, from their own station.

A guest op at my station uses my station callsign, not his.  If he's 
located 100 or 1000 miles away and operates my station remotely, it will 
be with my station callsign, not his.... and he'd not gain any advantage 
that way.

This remote station controversy would likely go away under those 
circumstances, and I for one wouldn't mind.

73, Jerry K3BZ
