[CQ-Contest] ARRL REPLY - Remote Site & Contesting Rules

[Gerry Hull]

Which brings up a very interesting point.  If it's valid for an ARRL Contest
(ARRL DX, for example), why would it not be valid for DXCC Credit?   How
would you know your QSL card/electronic QSL is for a remote operation or
local?

I know that certain people are planning to do remote operation from the US
using a Caribbean QTH.   This QTH is also very active in contests...

Maybe we should have a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy?  :-)

73,
