[CQ-Contest] CQ Magazine Award Policy for Remote Base Operations

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I think the intent for CQ awards, DXCC rules are that if you go to J6 
and operate you cannot count what you worked there for your W0MU 
awards.  I can apply for J6 awards with my J6 contacts.  If I remote 
operate from J6, which I can't, those contacts should count for J6, but 
may not count for any award.  Where the operator sits should not 
matter.  What matters is where is the transmitter located.
