[CQ-Contest] Varying the route to a contact

[Charles Harpole]

I used my ears in, and my receiver in, S.E.Asia to hear a big rare
DXpedition.  I used the internet to tell a ham in the USA to use my
USA call sign and when to call the DX.  He called with RF and was heard at
the DX locale altho hearing the DX in the USA was too marginal.

The DX acknowledged the contact as good over the air.

Is this a valid contact, DX or in a contest?  I ask honestly so get off my
back about being a troll or demon.  73
