David, we rejected that ad copy from RHR for the precise reason you mention. Our opponent, CAI does read our materials. I don't know whether they would see this but shame on CQ for running that ad and shame on RHR for their willingness to sacrifice the best interests of ham radio in their quest for a few bucks. 73, Chris W3KD Sent from my iPhone

GM All,
I see Dr. Boehner's point with RHR and the "unrestricted" use of ubiquitous Elecraft remotes opens another issue. However that which I find most worrisome is this part of the RHR add-
HOA + CC&R = RHR “It’s not rocket science” RemoteHamRadio.com 888-675-8035
I sure hope the HOA opponents to HR-1301 do not see this! This has the potential to do us great harm with respect to our current legislative efforts and I think it is quite reckless on RHR's part.
Food for thought and my $0.02 worth...

I know I’m not the first to see this, but on page 9 in the June 2015 issue of CQ, RHR has a full page ad depicting a chalkboard:
HOA + CC&R = RHR “It’s not rocket science” RemoteHamRadio.com 888-675-8035
So, they have found another venue for their advertising.
Interestingly, as one of the “Heartburns” of this RHR is charging large sums of money and time per minute of operation, I found this site that has some affiliation with Elecraft: http://www.remotehams.com/ where you can actually share your station. I haven’t investigated it, but it doesn’t appear any money is involved.
