[UK-CONTEST] Remote possibilities...

[David Gould]

Nigel,

The scenario you describe is new to me..

As I see it, It breaks down into two parts.

Operating a third party station is a variant of my Scenario 2.  Very 
similar to being a guest Op.  The main benefit is that someone else 
is doing the station build/maintenance.

I don't quite understand the operating two stations simultaneously bit.
Was it one station in one contest and the other in the second, or
Both stations in both contests?
Was it real simultaneous or time-slicing?

I don't see a problem of one person spending some time on one contest 
and different time (within the same overall period) on a second 
contest, (other than reducing ones score in both!!!)

I would need a bit more information of this, I am struggling to see 
the benefit to the operator of doing this.  I wonder if it was seen 
as just a technical challenge.

73,
Dave, G3UEG
