No, the (my) objection is using multiple stations in a short period
of time.  I would not have a problem with a "one station (location)"
per year, six months, or quarter ... but using multiple locations
on opposite coasts, per day/week is simply beyond what any amateur
could physically accomplish with *legitimate* relocations (even an
extensive RV operation).
