I love being in the west and some big gun guy on the east coast guy breaks a big pileup and I hear him/her say good to work you for the X time. While denying others the chance to work the DX. You know what we have all been told to do? Move! Now that remotes are here and we can "move" the "East Coast Cabal" is mad and wants to limit others from working their DX! People have spent a lot of money building big stations and now remotes are building bigger and better stations. This is not about the award this is about EGO. Those superstation owners liked their built in advantages and now that is changing. Limiting remotes or how people desire to operate is not good for the hobby. There was similar talk about FT8. There is still much talk and complaining on the 160 reflector about too much FT8 and not enough CW or SSB by people that continually disparage FT8. If you want to work DX you go to where the DX is. That is why many of us upgraded to EXTRA because lots of DX was on the bottom of the CW bands. Just because some don't like FT8 or remotes does not make it bad. Remotes allow people to use our bands more fully. Is this not a goal of the ARRL and a way to use our bands so that we don't lose them or has that been forgotten? More ways for people to play radio is better for the hobby. W0MU On 8/10/2020 9:44 AM, Joel Harrison
