Mike,
I also do not like the idea of remote station operation being
acceptable for DXCC.
(Charlie, you have one more year on me, I was licensed in 1958 :-)
I have pursued the DXCC awards for all these years and now to allow
remote op to be granted the same awards gives the DXCC awards almost zero
value.
Whether the remote operation is rented or self owned it makes no
difference.
I'm sure a lot of us have the same thinking on this but haven't had
the opportunity to express our feelings. Actually I believe the
majority of ARRL DXers feel this
way. I think the board needs to find a way to get input from the
majority
!
Lastly, One consideration for the board to look at is to have a
separate DXCC category for remote operation. Then everyone is happy
and there would be a level playing field for each category, home
station or remote. (After all that is the crux of the issue)
73,

Hi, Mike
Well, I've been licensed and a DXer since February 1957. In my
opinion remote stations and operations should NOT be acceptable for
DXCC. Perhaps a special NEW DXCC could be established for those
operations Most of us over the decades have worked diligently so
improve our stations and antennas within the bounds available to us!
To have to compete with remote Super Stations that are sited to
provide significant advantages on certain DX paths or bands REALLY
spoils it for oo many of us, and establishes is as a "Sport for the
Rich" like so many other things in our society! I am opposed to
offering
conventional "DXCC" credit for remote operations!

FYI, now's your chance to speak up if you haven't already. Please
e-mail N2YBB or other ARRL board members directly with any questions
or
comments.
Not looking to rehash things here on the reflector.

Hello,
Next week, the Board of Directors will be holding their second
meeting of the year. One of the topics up for discussion is the
recent change in DXCC rules, particularly as to the use of remote
operations for DXCC
credit.
I would be interested in knowing what you, the ARRL member, feel
about the rules for DXCC. In particular, I would like to know what
your opinion is regarding crediting (for awards) DX contacts made by
remote control operations, be they through self owned or rented stations.
I would be also be interested in your experiences if you have
operated remotely in chasing DX for DXCC credit.
If you have any other items of interest, please also let me know.
Thank you.
73 de Mike N2YBB
