That removes the variable of having the possibility of receive antennas at more than one location giving a possible decided advantage due to propagation and/or noise. If the station (transit and receive antennas) is remote then so indicate on the score report like we do for ARRL with the check box for SO2R. I don't want to see the remote stations shut out. I feel they are a viable asset going forward and helps a lot of antenna restricted Hams. I feel they are somewhat the same as me traveling to another location to rent a house that has antennas. Someday that may be my only option for operating? I have a couple new plasma TV's near me and a small lot which limits me on receive antennas and lots of QRM from the TV's. I do not feel I have a sufficient reason to use remote receive antennas for contesting or DXCC. I feel I have some choices: - Rent or setup a remote station (transmit and receive antennas) - Move - Travel and operate from someone else's station or another station that I have set up.. - Put up with the noise and do the best I can from my present station. 73, N2TK, Tony > _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
