On Saturday afternoon, during the 10m contest, I was surprised to be
called by a very loud YO4. Condx were such that the band was not open
to central/eastern EU here in Colorado at that time. Given the signal
strength, I presume the YO4 was using a remote on the east coast of the US.
What are the legalities of such an operation? Should he be signing
W/YO4xxx? Off the top of my head, I don't know if YO is a part of CEPT,
but if not, what kind of licensing permission, if any, is required for
such an operation?
Where does this type of operation fall in terms of contest rules and ethics?
