[CQ-Contest] ARRL Rule Change for Remote Ops - Always Multi-op?

[jpescatore at aol.com]

Bart - the wording of the rule change for remote operations ("If another operator acts as the on-site control operator of the remote station you are using, the entry must be submitted in a multioperator category") implies that there is no such thing as a single-op remote entry.


How does the control-op issue compare to a physical guest op, where the station owner is still physically present during the contest? Should such guest operations be considered multi-op as well? If the issue is that the local control op *might* be required to take some action, the same is true of the station owner with a physically present guest op.
