YES
Just quickly reading rules on IPhone, #4 under Single Operator
Assisted says "qso alerting assistance is allowed (this includes, but
is not limited to, packet, local or remote skimmer and/or skimmer-like
technology, Internet. The "but is not limited to" part causes
uncertainty about how far you can take it.
I think there may be (or should be if not) some distinction between a
public network and having a private network of remote receivers and
remote skimmers controlled by the operating station.
In my mind if a station has his own private network of remote
receivers or is in control of remote receivers he is violating the
magic circle limit.
