Answers to Paul EI5DI's comments: 1) No it doesn't, if the remote station is set up and all antennas, etc. are within the 500-meter rule, then it is OK. 2) No it doesn't, all RF is "ON THE AIR" using
In my experience, it's normal to use a mike, or key, or keyboard, or computer when transmitting, and phones or a speaker when receiving. If others think these are non-essential components of a contes
All this talk of remote operating has got me all fired up. I have remote capability from my house to the shack with a fast connection. I'm going to try it in a cw contest with my K3 and amp. I'll rem
Right. So what difference does it make where the operator is sitting if the stations are communicating with each other? 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
I believe (as in "it is my opinion") that the 500m rule is to disallow multiple receive/transmit sites all under a single call sign, a "distributed multi-multi" so to speak. 73, de Hans, K0HB/K7 ____
I can envision renting the PJ2T remote contest station, not having to drag a bunch of gear to a dx location and operate from my desk and saving the cost of airfare. Ok I won't get great warm vacation
You would feel cheated if he told you he was remote but you would be fine if he did not? Ultimately you just said there is no difference. Why do you care where the operator is located? You get credit

You guys are giving me so many reasons to take my top of the honour role certificate and burn it. It was bad enough when the ARRL allowed one to move from one side of the country to the other and sti
A bit over dramatic Doug? Here are the ARRL DXCC rules. *9. All stations must be contacted*from the same DXCC entity. The location of any station shall be defined as the location of the transmitter.
Maybe someone will put one on Peter I and Bouvet, too. And who is going to run to all these places to repair the equipment when it fails? Getting to Peter I is no easy task. 73, Zack W9SZ ___________
Hello all, It seems that the opinions of Paul EI5DI and the Russian DX Contest Committee fully coincide... The updated FAQ was a bit unclear, but when I now re-read the general rules, it is quite cle
A club I was in once used remote logging from a remote site for Sweepstakes. We were actually at the site operating but the logging was done via landline modem to a DEC-10 computer twelve miles away.
Now, Paul's (EI5DI's) comments make sense: I guess there is no sense in me entering a Russian DX contest, Unless: I don't tell them I am remote. If they found out, I would be disqualified. This would
Mike, Review the history of the DXCC award. You will find that in the past when one changed call districts, or moved greater than 150 miles one had to start all over. Quote from 1975 rules: " 9) All
Maybe those that no longer get enjoyment out of the hobby should move along. I happen to think it is just fine. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@cont
Hi Doug Getting on the honor roll is now a lot easier than it probably was when you got on it. I did some checking and in 1961 there were 131 honor roll hams. Now, according the the ARRL site, there
So the ARRL was wise enough to understand that DXCC is just an award. People move, technology changes and so have their rules. Apparently you have no problem penalizing people for having to move beca
