Topband: Additional Comments on Impact of Remote RX Systems

[john at kk9a.com]

It has been a long while since I have operated a 160m contest. I remember
some very slow hours and having a way to tune a second radio to look for
new stations and multipliers would have been great. As I said in my
January 20 post, having a separate receive antenna 100km away would make
SO2R very easy. So if this is allowed anyone wanting to be competitive
will need a remote RX site. This is not financially feasible for many of
us or me may just have no interest in doing this. Adding a category would
allow the remote RX station to operate fairly and those operating from a
single site would only be competing against stations with similar
restrictions.
