I hope so. Somehow it just doesn't seem right to me. I could set up a remote
receiving site for 160 meters in Europe and be able to hear hundreds of
stations I might never hear in the USA. People in Eurpoe could set up
receiving sites here in the Midwest USA and work hundreds of people like me
on 160 who they'd never hear in EU.
Maybe this ham licensed 42 years is just getting old, but I don't see the
fun in that. No way it could be acceptable for DXCC.
