Under the present DXCC Rule 9 this is legal...as it would be
for a station in UA0 (far Western z19) using a remote in UA9 (far
Eastern z17). DXCC once had the restriction that all contacts must be
made within ~150 miles (uncertain of that exact distance)

I have known 6m/50MHz W's and VE so called DX-operators to do this. Work
all they can work from VE7 or W7 (just an example) then vacation in Maine or
NS for the summers to catch some of they juicy DX we east coasters get to EU
on multihop Es. You think 160m dx is hard?....try 6m ! HI HI ;-)
Is it "legal"? I dunno - I guess so....Is it "right"?....I personally
disagree with the practice, but to each his own.
