Greg,
For DXCC there's no such a 500m rule, you can operate your station (in
New-Zealand) remotelly from Portugal as soon as you use your callsign ZL3IX,
QSOs will count only for New-Zealand.
Have a look at this e-mail a got from DXCC:
Jose,
Remote operation is legal as for DXCC as long as the rules and regulations
are in order. There is no question about any operator using his own station
remotely. In this example, the operator located in Germany is operating his
own station in Portugal so any contacts are valid for his Portuguese DXCC.
Contact he makes with other stations count for Portugal, not Germany.

Subject: Re: Topband: Blatant cheating using Remote Operation
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....

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!
