[CQ-Contest] Remote contest operation

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Rent?  Don't station owners in the Caribbean rent their stations?  There 
is a station in Colorado that can be rented, Canada..........or am I 
missing something here?  Does it matter if the operator is renting the 
house and stuff or the a remote connection to the stuff.

The issue for some of those places is making sure that those locations 
allow remote control operation and all the rules are followed.

I have no problem with people spending their hard earned cash, buying 
land, setting up a station, good internet, remote apps and appliances 
etc and renting to those that can or want to pay remotely or physically.

It is not legal for me to pay you to operate per the FCC.  There is 
nothing stopping anyone from renting a station that I am aware of.
