Yeah-they also think it's OK to order pizza on a ham autopatch...blatently against everything amateur radio stands for...like most things the ARRL supports... The remote base radio, in this case 10M, is NOT in auxiliary operation. It is a remotely controlled base station, and the frequencies and modes it can operate are no different then if the radio was sitting in front of you with all the controls and microphone. This is NOT opinion. It is FACT, and has been that way for, well, as long as I can remember. ARRL can go pound salt. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
