Use of a remote receiver by a contestant in the CQWW 160 contest is very
restricted. It must be within 62.2 miles (100 km) of the transmitter, and
the contestant is limited to entering the single-operator-assisted category
(or submitting a checklog, which cover operations outside the rules as
well). Single operator and multi-operator categories do not permit use of
a remote receiver. And since operators in all categories are prohibited
from CQing (running) on two discrete frequencies within the same time
period, that SO2R technique is prohibited. Tuning around between CQs --
which I consider SO2V -- is permitted. One could view it as equivalent to
"assistance" and appropriately categorized.
The reason for accommodating remote receivers in the SOA category is
explicit in the rules: *“The rule is designed to accommodate new
technology, and for those who experience high noise levels at the
transmitting site.” *
Questions, comments, and suggestions would be appropriately addressed to:
