[CQ-Contest] Varying the route to a contact

[David Gilbert]

I don't see how that could be considered a valid QSO.   In effect you 
were acting as a remote receiver to actually complete the QSO ... your 
friend was unable to adequately hear the DX from the same location that 
he was transmitting.  Not that that would be so different than what 
happens on some of the DX nets, but that's no justification.

If it was your intent to portray your example as being the same as 
remote operation of a rig, it isn't the same thing at all.
