I wonder why some far off rare countries don't set up remotely available ham
stations, and then charge significant money to use them.
How much would you pay to remotely operate a station in North Korea?

Why are we talking about DXpeditions and RIB's on a contesting mailing
list? Remote contesting has been going on for awhile. Some do it 100%
and others hybrid. (some remote operators/ others on site) Look at 3830.
Just about every contest someone is remote. K4BAI and I did it during
COVID to still be able to put PJ4 on the air. I've also operated
remotely to WW4LL for many years. Recently I've done some contests
operating remotely to K1TTT. If you look some active stations like
PJ2T, K1LZ, NJ4P, ZF5T etc... have some of their operators operate
remotely.
Personally I find operating remotely to be very convenient. I can sleep
in my own bed and eat my own food. Plus it takes a burden off the host
so they don't have to plan all this stuff in addition to getting ready
for the contest.
