[CQ-Contest] Remote Contesting

[Martin Monsalvo, LU5DX]

Hi guys.

Remote contesting. The 500 m diameter rule.... I don't see the correlation.
What do the op has to do with the antennas being hooked up to the transmiter(s) and located within an imaginary 500 m diameter circle?
The op can be touching the radio, a few feet away on the couch or taking a bio break with wireless keyboard and headset or even thousand miles away. It doesn't make a difference, as long as he/she reports he was operating a station somewhere else.

What IS indeed wrong, is when someone is claiming to be operating from a given location but actually he/she has remote RX or remote TRX to take un unfair advantage over the others. But that,  is a completely different story.

Just my opinion.
