So according to the rules , remote QSOs are good for CQ, but not for ARRL
DX credit.
How is a person supposed to know who is remote or not for DXCC purposes?
How is the League going to know if a station is operating remote or not?
Sounds like a recipe for less participation by the casual operator if they
have no clue if a station is good for DXCC or not.
Lots of stations get on in contests to work new countries, with this
remote business, that incentive is gone. Why bother to turn on the radio?
For us on the Honor Roll, it matters not, but to the majority of stations
we work in the contest, it does.
Maybe it is time to reflect what radio sport is about and whether it is
going to be incompatible with DXCC.
The next 3Y0 operation could raise money by letting others remote into the
setup during a contest. The grunts who actually go to the place just set it
up, while the "fat cats" pay to use it by remote.
Is this the future?
What a lovely hobby we use to have.

I can't agree more :-) Just finished first hour of CWT from my sister in
law home in Jagodina, KN03PX as YU/S56A using TS-480 with homemade 40 m
dipole fed 40% off-center. Serbia accepted CEPT recently and I enjoyed WPX
SSB from YU1EXY site with their monobanders. I wish I had remote access to
them again!
I spent week in bed thanks to the local flu epidemic but significantly
improved CW Expert robot by tripling the score to 82/78 in Morse Runner WPX
simulation. Wideband 44,1 kHz SDR RTTY Skimmer should be ready for test
this week thanks to YT7PWR help. Hamradio is the best scientific hobby -
