Topband: CQWW160 Remote receiver rule

[Tom W8JI]

It's one thing for your place of residence to change over a career or 
lifetime...it's totally another to, based on the contest or location of the 
desired DX, be able to selectively choose your receive system location to 
minimize or eliminate the geographical and/or propagational challenges that 
anyone operating in your same geographical area are faced with.  And to take 
it a step further...why spend the time and money to develop your station to 
modestly competitive levels when you can pay 50 cents per minute to operate 
one someone else built in a much more desirable location...such as a few 
hundred miles from the counters instead of several thousand...  Incentive 
gone!

Then you should get the rules changed so none can count any contacts made 
with a move, other than a job move or lifetime change, for awards.

Unless you feel driving five or ten miles somehow makes someone a better 
operator than using Internet with a radio on his desk.

The ARRL says it is the operator who earns the contact awards, not the 
station. You need to lobby to get that changed so it is the station, or the 
operator-station combo, that earns the contacts for awards.
