I asked this question a few years ago and was referred to the clear DXCC rule 9.
9. All stations must be contacted from the same DXCC entity. The location of
any station shall be defined as the location of the transmitter. For the
purposes of this award, remote operating points must be located within the same
DXCC entity as the transmitter and receiver.
This seems to state that the operator and TX/RX must also be in the same DXCC
entity.

Subject: Topband: Web-based SDRs and DXCC [was Web SDR's and 'Cheating']
I am glad to see this subject return to the topband reflector.
Hard to believe, but contrary to what Tree has said, my
investigations indicate that the present DXCC rules would,
unfortunately, permit the use of remote Internet-connected SDRs in
another continent for purposes of making DXCC contacts. In my posting
here last year,
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Topband/2010-01/msg00009.html
I outlined my correspondence with the DXCC desk on the subject.
Perhaps if more people make the point to the DXCC desk, their ARRL
reps (on the DXAC and at the Section level) we can get the rules to
be changed (or clarified) so that this kind of activity is clearly
out of bounds.
The (somewhat related) DXAC report to which I referred in the posting
has been moved or removed from the ARRL webpages. If anyone wants to
get a copy, send email to me.
