Topband: Use of Remote Receivers During 160 Meter Contests

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

We are are going to allow remote receivers, why not remote transmitters 
all over the world too...It if were legal.

We might as well just get on any one of the messaging systems, Facebook, 
Apple, Hangouts, Skype and have contests and free up the airwaves for 
more important stuff.

You need to hear my transmitter from your location and I need to hear 
yours from mine.

I am a proponent of remote radio where ALL of the receiving and 
transmitting is done from the same SINGLE remote site with the same 
distance radius for that equipment to be in.
