I doubt it, as most of the big guns operate big contest stations.  A number
of these guys have up to 8 or 10 operating positions.  Most of the stations
can be operated remotely too.

Could it be that a lack of skill and knowledge is replaced with big power?

I don't know how they get away with running that much power unless the =
powers that be really don't care. LOL=20 Just like I think its silly for 2
guys to get on 20M and point there 5 = plus element mono banders at each
other, maybe they're a hundred  miles = apart and run 1.5KW and plan a pizza
meeting at a local restaurant. LOL=20=

but that's just me. Up here in Newfoundland, there's a couple of locals =
who check into the local 75M net running 1.5KW and they have a sort of =
round table after and they're in a 100 mile radius of each other. (HIHI)=20=
