My opinion, may not be popular.
Note: I'm not talking about hams remoting to _their own_ station. That
is what the great technology is meant for.
A remote station to someone else s equipment is not identifying legally
in my opinion. Think about it. What if there is RFI or other malicious
interference other coming from that station? There is no way to identify
it. The station identifies as whoever is using the remote.
Remotes should be required, per FCC, to identify as the station that is
transmitting. That means the licensed operator in that particular
location who owns the station.
Example: NZ3M/W1XXX or whatever.
There are hundreds of stations that hams can log into all over the world
and operate using their own call sign. Some large stations are $ per
minute and many are free.
This is my 2 cents, take it as you wish.

Greg, you, VU2GSM and others openly state how you are operating, and follow
the accepted rules. And I'm glad you do.
Those who do not and claim DXCC credit for a out of country remote credit
should openly be called out. This may not stop many of them but atleast
they will known we know their mode of operation.
I do hope that those calling out stations have darn good evidence and not
doing it as a personal vendetta.

Guys need to be more discriminatory when discussing remote operation. I
use a remote installation, and have for years, but I abide by the DXCC
rules which state that the Tx and Rx antennas have to be within 500 m of
each other. Furthermore, this installation I designed and built myself,
and I maintain myself, with great effort. This practice should NOT be
equated with the practice of using a random Rx installation on the Net,
probably not even in the same country as the operator using it.

Good for you Roger....you always hear about hams using remotes to work
the dx, but they don’t usually say much when the dx uses a remote to hear
them....

There is no way an organization such as the ARRL can prevent cheating
in the DXCC program. It has to depend on the honesty of the hams involved.
Yes..some
people will cheat but I can't see how they can derive any satisfaction
from
that.
Last year I worked VU2GSM on Top Band. I heard rumors that Kanti used
remote
receiving locations and, when asked, he freely admitted it. He's in my
log
but I didn't claim credit for that contact.
YMMV!
