Topband: Fwd: Fwd: ARRL Board meets next week - I'm looking for input

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

Technology is always giving us new tools to work with. You cannot compare past accomplishments with present ones.

As we age or downside our living conditions may force me to operate RHR. I'm fine with that and will acknowledge the fact during the QSO.

The League should provide different classes of awards. Some examples are:

- Local operation QRP 5 watts
- Local operation 100 watts
- Local operation QRO

- RHR QRP 5 watts
- RHR 100 watts
- RHR QRO

Many of you folks are too sensitive, especially to legitimate use of 
remotes. Yes, DX'ing and constesting on a competitive level can be 
challenging to the pocket book but, contrary to comments one does not 
have to be a "Rich" to compete in awards or competitions.

Tom W8JI, made the most logical response.

"I think the mob got all worked up because they didn't think about the actual
rules, they just dislike RHR (and not the dozens of free uncontrolled
remotes all over the place). For years they have been competing against
people who use other people's stations, move around, or have a remote. Now,
out of the clear blue sky, DXCC is suddenly useless when the actual changes
than made it useless were made over 30 years ago."

"I think the real solution is a DXCC endorsement or a new DXCC that requires
the holder to swear he did it all transmitting and receiving from one
location all by himself with gear he assembled."

One station, one control point.
