[Elecraft] Operating from a retirement home

[David Gilbert]

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your post was 
tongue-in-cheek, but for one thing you have to schedule a station amid 
competition from other hams wanting to do it.  For another, the cost 
isn't trivial if you plan to do it on a regular basis or use one of the 
bigger stations.  The example you cite costs about $1 per minute.

I think RHR is a fine idea for contests and one-off activities, but it 
hardly makes sense for general access to the bands.

And THAT's why everyone isn't doing it ...
