[CQ-Contest] CQ 160m contest-vs-DXCC rule problem

[Edward Sawyer]

Dave, You have obviously never tried this.  I am able to do SO2R partially with my beverage on site.  Having a remote receiver 100km away or even 5km away would provide for full SO2R while transmitting.  But that's okay if assisted are competing with like minded assisted.

Use of a remote receiver by a contestant in the CQWW 160 contest is very
restricted. It must be within 62.2 miles (100 km) of the transmitter, and
the contestant is limited to entering the single-operator-assisted category
(or submitting a checklog, which cover operations outside the rules as
well).  Single operator and multi-operator categories do not permit use of
a remote receiver.  And since operators in all categories are prohibited
from CQing (running) on two discrete frequencies within the same time
period, that SO2R technique is prohibited. Tuning around between CQs --
which I consider SO2V -- is permitted.  One could view it as equivalent to
"assistance" and appropriately categorized.

The reason for accommodating remote receivers in the SOA category is
explicit in the rules:  *“The rule is designed to accommodate new
technology, and for those who experience high noise levels at the
transmitting site.” *

Questions, comments, and suggestions would be appropriately addressed to:
director at cq160.com.

73,  Dave K3ZJ
