I have full remote station here but it only functions for contest

problem with the US RHR deals is that it completely skews the process
as far as the propagation differences across the fruited plan. I
would love to add to my DXCC totals as I close into the 300 mark. USA
stations can do this but is it ethical. It sure makes money for a pay
to play amateur radio scheme.
I strongly agree -- while it is permitted by DXCC rules, it is NOT
ETHICAL to use a remote station, or a different QTH of your own,
thousands of miles closer to a DX entity to add to your country totals.
I see no ethical problem with a guy anywhere using a SINGLE remote
station, or remote stations in a geographic region, to contribute to
award totals.
And in reality, it IS pay to play -- nice stations cost money! There's
the gear, the antennas, and the real estate.
