Technology is always giving us new tools to work with. You cannot compare past accomplishments with present ones.
As we age or downside our living conditions may force me to operate RHR. I'm fine with that and will acknowledge the fact during the QSO. The League should provide different classes of awards. Some examples are: - Local operation QRP 5 watts - Local operation 100 watts - Local operation QRO - RHR QRP 5 watts - RHR 100 watts - RHR QRO Mike N2MS ----- Original Message ----- From: W7RH <[email protected]> To: topband <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, 11 Jul 2015 16:29:56 -0000 (UTC) Subject: Re: Topband: Fwd: Fwd: ARRL Board meets next week - I'm looking for input Many of you folks are too sensitive, especially to legitimate use of remotes. Yes, DX'ing and constesting on a competitive level can be challenging to the pocket book but, contrary to comments one does not have to be a "Rich" to compete in awards or competitions. Tom W8JI, made the most logical response. "I think the mob got all worked up because they didn't think about the actual rules, they just dislike RHR (and not the dozens of free uncontrolled remotes all over the place). For years they have been competing against people who use other people's stations, move around, or have a remote. Now, out of the clear blue sky, DXCC is suddenly useless when the actual changes than made it useless were made over 30 years ago." "I think the real solution is a DXCC endorsement or a new DXCC that requires the holder to swear he did it all transmitting and receiving from one location all by himself with gear he assembled." One station, one control point. 73 W7RH -- W7RH DM35OS Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
