I would urge caution before we start asking contest sponsors to allow remote RX sites. There are some lucky folks where noise is not a huge issue. Consider what I could do with a remote RX site - aways from the TX hash, essentially being able to run full duplex. To me, this is a pretty serious game changer. I do understand the advantages, and how it could help someone who lives in a noisy location. But - be careful of granting an advantage to folks who are blessed without that issue.
