George, I know you guys will have made the best efforts to optimise your tx
capability, I totally agree with your last comment too.
Hats off to you guys, over the years we know that you have given numerous new
ones to many on 160m

Dave,The "Fat" TX antenna worked pretty well towards the N - NW. Also, by the
early mornings I was able to turn up the TX power to 1400 W, as the other CW
stations went off the air.So, Ukrain, while clearly at the edge, was entirely
possible. Of course, I would have been very suspicious if I heard a G or EI
calling... but I did not hear anything out of line.As you point out, the DX
operator has no way to tell if somebody is listening via a remote receiver.
Anyway, I think that anybody cheating, is primarily cheating himself.73,George

point.First, if it is correct there is a small possibility of propagain around

not really the dx season for EU to Pacific. With great respect the Baker Is.
Topband system was compromised, a 43ft fat vertical, so an EU QSO must be
optimistic at best. If the EU guys had fantastic antennas, they may just be
able to make the trip, with lots more power potentially too. To me, if you
are using a favourable located remote RX, not in EU, that would not be a good
QSO in my ethics.Further, since these things are available, it's not in my
ethics to use remote tx/rx outside of your home country, to claim dx contacts.
Lastly, from the dx end, it's impossible to tell if the QSO is remote assisted
or not, however, if it's outside of a real opening time, if I was the dx, I
would delete the qso from my log as dubious 73 Dave G3NKC (op at MD4K, PZ5K

It seems that nowadays there are many who believe that remote reception was
used by others when they were not able to work a dx station.
