The proposed rules allow for remote.
End of story.
I only proposed that the actual "operator" be in the same DXCC country
as the TX and RX.
CQWW is supposed to be a competition.
However, what about having a mult- multi with "operators" for each band
sitting in their own home and accessing one station?
In other words, having a mulit-multi of dozen people or so, each at
their own home, competing as one mult-mulit?
Under my proposed rule, K3LR could configure such a monster. Just think
of whom he could muster from all over the USA who do not have to make
the time and journey to his QTH?
It would bar the the same type of multi-mulit setup with "operators" in
the USA and the TX and RX in P4.
The tradition in Radio Sport competition evolves with time, but not
being in the same country as the TX and RX is perhaps not the direction
CQWW needs to go.
If you think going to Africa, spending the money , time and putting up
with conditions there for a contest is the same as being at home, the
term "home sweet home" does not apply to you.

The opponents don't want some well-heeled guy buying an oceanfront lot,
building a big contest station and beating the locals. People don't
like carpetbaggers. That's about it.

get a scoring advantage. Or in my case just to get on the air for the

those
contests totally rather than get on the air and put out some Q's.
Thanks a

I am not a rich man. Some day I may be reduced to a home without
space
for antennas to contest. Remote operation may be my only way to enjoy
ham
radio. Why do you care where the radio is located, so long as the
contest
entry reflects that location and the pertinent rules of the
regulatory
body(ies) are observed.

Although the rich big boys would not like this rule, there should be
a rule
that says:
“The remote operator must be the same DXCC county as the operating

Short and sweet. Not ambiguous as to both elements, where Joe is and
where
the RF is transmitted and received.
This will prevent Joe Blow from “renting” or using a station in a
favourable location without having to have gone through the grief,
travel
time,
and money that would be expended otherwise.
Radio Sport should not be based on how much money or how clever
someone
can be to do less then the other person in order to compete.
One person spend the time and energy to go to P4 and operates, a
second
person is remote into a station on P4.
