Hi all, Something I read on the CQ site has been gnawing at me since the 160 CW contest last weekend. Per the rules, remote RX is allowed in certain Assisted categories for contest QSOs under contest
Contest and DXCC rules are not always in sync, and they don't have to be. I am fine with that. All part of the game. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing li

But the most ludicrous conflict with this is that QSOs made from QTHs within the lower 48 US states can be combined for DXCC. We can work EU from Maine, AS from WA, AF from FL, and count all of them
I don't mind the fact that SO(A) contacts made with remote receivers in the prescribed 100 mile range are valid Qs in the contest, nor do I mind that the ARRL prohibits remote-RX QSOs from participat

Why should they be? Where is it written that they ought to be? That's like saying, for example, that ALL (US) State QSO Parties must use the Canadian Provinces, or the Canadian Call Districts; and US
" Why should they be?" - Because multipliers in the contests like CQ WW and ARRL are based on DXCC. And a lot of people participate in these contests just to collect more countries for this prestigio

Contests from various sponsors, (CQ, ARRL, NCJ, RAC, DARC, RDXC etc) and Awards from the ARRL/CQ are 2 different kettles of fish. You know who really cares what plaques you have on your wall? You! I
<<<Same way as how ARRL nowadays recognizes "automated" FT8 QSO's? :-) Or when LOTW validates certicates for single man operation who are/announces operating 24/7 in FT8... 73 de Dimitri F4DSK Envo
« +WAE»- So? Does DARC allow remote receivers within 100 km to be used? And allows such QSO to be claimed towards achieving WAE award? What if the operator used remote receiver to make a QSO on 80 or

Ah, but there's the rub, Yuri. Multipliers in SOME contests are based on DXCC entities. But not all. Mults can be based on DXCC entity. Or WAE entity. Or CQ Zone. Or ITU Zone. Or Maidenhead Gri

The fundamental problem is the slippery downward slope of rules in contest (allowing a remote receiver is a bad idea in my opinion - completely trashes decades of engineering and best practice in the
This statement is seriously flawed -- it is equivalent to saying that because it is well known that SOME contesters cheat on power that ALL contesters cheat on power. I'm a long time member of NCCC,
