Thanks Bart.

A discussion that was had here on this reflector some months ago seems to
have been clarified:



*Remote-Controlled-Station Entries*

Acting as the control operator for a remote-controlled station in the U.S.
or its possessions *requires* that the operator hold a U.S. FCC-issued
license - and have sufficient privileges for all operation.  CEPT/IARP
reciprocal operating authority does not include authority to remotely
control a U.S. station.

If another operator acts as the on-site control operator of the remote
station you are using, the entry must be submitted in a multioperator
category (and may be subject to limitations of off-times and band changes).
  The location for the contest-log entry will be the location of the remote
station, regardless of where the operator is during the contest. For more
information, see the online FAQ at
