Roger,
I agree 100%.
If it's easy enough to get the card I'll send off for it.
I don't chase for the ARRL's certificate.
I have a couple from the 80's and 90's couple DXCC's WAS WAZ...
Truthfully I can't even remember...I don't think I even have 160 DXCC
from ARRL.

My final thoughts on this is that perhaps one way around this problem is to
allow websdr qso's via designated websdr sites only for the award chasers and

Guy. You did it the "hard" way did you? I have been a ham and DXer since 1973

The question of the effect of a remote receiver or receivers has
already been dealt with by some contest organizers needing clarity and

retaining the flavor and char
