There is no way an organization such as the ARRL can prevent cheating in the DXCC program. It has to depend on the honesty of the hams involved. Yes..some people will cheat but I can't see how they c
Good for you Roger....you always hear about hams using remotes to work the dx, but they dont usually say much when the dx uses a remote to hear them.... Sent from my iPad _________________ Searchable
Guys need to be more discriminatory when discussing remote operation. I use a remote installation, and have for years, but I abide by the DXCC rules which state that the Tx and Rx antennas have to be
Greg, you, VU2GSM and others openly state how you are operating, and follow the accepted rules. And I'm glad you do. Those who do not and claim DXCC credit for a out of country remote credit should o
My opinion, may not be popular. Note: I'm not talking about hams remoting to _their own_ station. That is what the great technology is meant for. A remote station to someone else s equipment is not
I'm of a like mind with FT-8 QSOs. I've broken down and make them because of a friendly club competition, and I put them on LoTW, but I don't count them for DXCC credit. (No argument with those that

I think the key word is Station which assumes that 500M diameter circle encompasses all aspects of the station to include feedlines and antennas. A transmitter and/or receiver are not a station witho
Cecil, Please think again. Many topbanders use antennas and feedlines that extend beyond a 500 meter diameter circle. Please don't disparage us. 73 Frank W3LPL -- Original Message -- From: "Cecil" <c
