US1Q called me during the contest and was much too loud to be in the Ukraine. I
am quite sure that he was using a remote TX station in the USA.
This would be a question for the contest administrator to decide on.

Hi Nick,
I did not work US1Q during this years contest, so won't comment on that
operator (but I understand 100% what you are saying, even though your
English is not perfect, hi hi)
I have in the past, "worked" an Italian station on 160m (I forget the call)
at 5NN+30dB many hours after sunrise in Italy, so I know exactly what you
are saying.
Fortunately (I think) we 'hope' these fellows using USA remotes (and any
remotes, actually) are the 1/1000 of true operators and not every other
operator.
I can only surmise they find satisfaction in trying to fool everyone, but
personally I don't "get it" (don't understand)
They are only really fooling themselves and it's themselves that stare back
at them in the mirror every morning.
