[CQ-Contest] RDXC updated FAQ - Remote operation

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

A bit over dramatic Doug?

Here are the ARRL DXCC rules.

*9. All stations must be contacted*from the same DXCC entity. The 
location of any station shall be defined as the location of the 
transmitter. For the purposes of this award, remote operating points 
must be located within the same DXCC entity as the transmitter and 
receiver.

It doesn't say anything about one move.........

Good luck with the plan to put remote stations in every entity.  That 
would be more of a challenge than attaining Honor roll ever would be.  
BS7, P5, Mt. Athos, KP1, KP5......

Maybe everyone should tear down their stacks and run QRP into wet 
noodles too.
