[CQ-Contest] Remote Control in Contests

[Dick Green WC1M]

There's also a set of Guidelines for HF Operating, aka the "Contesting FAQ",
written by the CAC.

You'll find it buried on the ARRL website:

http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Contest%20-%20General/HF-FAQ.pdf

This "white paper" addresses many of the grey areas where the rules aren't
explicit.

73, Dick WC1M
