Steve. . . "beating this dead horse."  You're the one that brought it up. . 
.hi.  Also, if you waiting in anticipation of the "approaching low band 
season" I regret to inform you it's half over.         73. . . Dave, W0FLS

Let's see. It has been at least five years since RHR's "remote operation for 
the masses" hit the air waves. After several years of hand-wringing, teeth 
gnashing and proclamations that the amateur world as we know it is ending 
the ARRL made it clear that remote operations, so long as they adhere to the 
rules of the licensing authority in the country of operation, count for ARRL 
awards.
Can we not at least assume that before ARRL staff made that recommendation 
to the Board that they reviewed the pertinent FCC rules and determined that 
such action by the League would not be contrary to those rules?
It's a lovely fall day here in Tennessee. I am taking advantage of it to 
check guy wires, coax connections and my eight beverages to make sure that I 
am ready for the approaching low band season. Doesn't that sound like more 
fun than beating this dead horse?
73, Steve NN4T
