May I respectfully point out that DXCC rule 9: b) says:
*b)* All transmitters and receivers comprising a station used for a
specific contact must be located within a 500-meter diameter circle.
Although it is a rather "strange" rule, it only mentions transmitters and
receivers, it thankfully does not mention antennas at all.
