To solve this problem, when you go to a DX location ( as we do for the
CQWW at V26B ) you should make friends with some of the locals and
encourage them to get on for the contest. Encourage them to work
others as well. Bring a spare radio for them if necessary. You never
know, you might get a new contester started on the right track.
I agree that sending one of your team's operators down the road to
make qsos with your operation is not within the spirit of the rules.
