Hello brethren, I´m one of those who lives and operates from a noise-infested location. It is within my abilities to build a remote station a few miles away. Yet, I ask you and myself 'will it be of the same value"? If I'm not happy with either TX or RX, I can operate portable or rent a station WITHOUT bending rules. RHR is already ruining the hobby at least its what-I-can-do-with-what-I-have-and-where-I-am point. FWIW
