That's pretty much the reason why I asked. If contacts for QSO credit in
contests are based on DXCC countries, wouldn't regular DXCC rules apply as to
whether the station is based "in" the country?

Which brings up a very interesting point. If it's valid for an ARRL Contest
(ARRL DX, for example), why would it not be valid for DXCC Credit? How would
you know your QSL card/electronic QSL is for a remote operation or local?
I know that certain people are planning to do remote operation from the US
using a Caribbean QTH. This QTH is also very active in contests...
Maybe we should have a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy? :-)

My question is whether this gives implied consent to remote operation from
locations other than the DXCC entity where the operator is physically
located? The DXCC awards desk certainly doesn't think so.
