I am wondering Ken, that when you are remotable in the future, if you will fly to Vancouver and take a motel room in order to comply with the 'located in the same country (entity)' requirement? Thoug
Bob Cox, K3EST, has confirmed that this rule does NOT superceed the existing CQ contest rules. 73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest
I agree Ken. If I want to spend the money to build a remote station in J6 or HK or wherever and it is legal it should be allowed. Where the operator sits is of little consequence. The contacts are ma
Is there the perception that operating from a doggy place where if you forget to use bottle water to brush your teeth can cause disease is equivalent to operating from the comforts of your own home?
At the 22nd General Conference of the IARU REGION 1, the IRTS had submitted a paper on TRANSNATIONAL Remote Control operation. The general thrust of this paper was that such operation is not generall

There are so many other issues in remote operation that I doubt sitting in my USA shack is going to have any effect on my score in a positive way, opposed to sitting in the shack in J6. If I were ons
I think the intent for CQ awards, DXCC rules are that if you go to J6 and operate you cannot count what you worked there for your W0MU awards. I can apply for J6 awards with my J6 contacts. If I remo
While it is true that operating from a DX location and suffering from jet lag is indeed a factor that one needs to consider, the difficulty in assembling such a remote station and the inherent techni
Hi Gerry, Apparently the CQ Awards Committee and the CQ Contest Committee have conflicting rules regarding remote operations. Apparently this is OK with the Editorial Committee. 73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT
If I can operate from my comfy chair, why would I consider going to that 100 degree shack? The technology for remote operation is approaching zero cost, other than the cost of an internet connection,
What would be the sense in building a remote station in J6 and then have to go to J6 to operate it? Doesn't make sense to me. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest m
What does that have to do with anything? Since this is the contesting reflector we're presumably talking contesting here, and as far as I know the factors considered relevant for contest performance

Just think, you could work an HK station remotely from J6! George Wagner, K5KG Sarasota, FL 941-400-1960 cell What would be the sense in building a remote station in J6 and then have to go to J6 to o
