I guess I can see a point to the remote operation. Think of
those that are in nursing homes or assisted living facilities
etc. that want more of a taste of ham radio than echolink can
provide but can't have a station in their room or apartment.

For awards, the QTH should be the remote location. I think it is
just as fair to rent a station as to be able afford to build a
super station. Maybe award categories need dollar classes as
well as power classes.

Just my 2 cents.
