[UK-CONTEST] Remote control of contest stations

[Jim Martin]

With the rapid development of remote control software to operate your rig
from anywhere in the world I feel our contest rules could be caught lagging
behind this technology.  It is now very easy to sit in the office and work
some of that daytime DX which so often passes us by!
A single operator could have rigs located hundreds of miles apart to take
advantage of changes in propagation. As things stand there are many contests
in which this would be acceptable.
It may be deemed  'not in the spirit of the contest' but as one well known
contester said 'Look for what the rules say you can't do then everything
else is okay!'
