Dave,
The "Fat" TX antenna worked pretty well towards the N - NW. Also, by the
early mornings I was able to turn up the TX power to 1400 W, as the other CW
stations went off the air.
So, Ukrain, while clearly at the edge, was entirely possible. Of course, I
would have been very suspicious if I heard a G or EI calling... but I did
not hear anything out of line.
As you point out, the DX operator has no way to tell if somebody is
listening via a remote receiver.
Anyway, I think that anybody cheating, is primarily cheating himself.
73,
George

I have no axe to grind, I wasn't QRV. Hever, Nick does raise a good point.
First, if it is correct there is a small possibility of propagain around Sunset for
Serbia and Ukraine, 20 minute window to Baker Is. However, it's not really
the dx season for EU to Pacific.
With great respect the Baker Is. Topband system was compromised, a 43ft fat
vertical, so an EU QSO must be optimistic at best.
If the EU guys had fantastic antennas, they may just be able to make the trip, with lots
more power potentially too. To me, if you are using a favourable located remote
RX, not in EU, that would not be a good QSO in my ethics.
Further, since these things are available, it's not in my ethics to use remote tx/rx outside of your home country, to claim dx contacts.
Lastly, from the dx end, it's impossible to tell if the QSO is remote assisted or not, however, if it's outside of a real opening time, if I was the dx, I would delete the qso from my log as dubious

Peter, Peter....
We all know each other here ( in Ukraine).
Hard DX, such as KH1, can hear even in the season (autumn-spring) as a
whole
several antennas - UR5AS, UR0MC, UX1UA ..
And now it's summer! July ..
Do not be children, gentlemen.

It seems that nowadays there are many who believe that remote reception
was
used by others when they were not able to work a dx station.
