I guess I'll have to go back and read the CQ Magazine announcement
again. When it was announced at the contest forum in Dayton, I
understood that remote receiver sites would be limited to the same CQ
zone as the transmitting antennas. In most, but not all, cases, that
would be in the same country as the transmitting antennas. Maybe this
was not part of the announcement, but that's what I understood at
Dayton. 73, John, K4BAI.
