According the rules in both cq ww and wpx "All transmitters, receivers, 
and amplifiers must be *within a single 500-meter diameter circle*. 
*Antennas must be physically connected by RF transmission lines to the 
transmitters and receivers*."

So if I have an *sdr receiver inside the 500 meters circle *where the 
station is, physically connected with the antenna, can I hear from it 
via a wifi?

More specifically, in my club, we need to put an antenna for the inband 
station about 300m far from the station. It is far cheaper (and better 
because of less coax losses) to hear via an sdr receiver via a local 
wifi link and not use about 300m of coax which is much more expensive. 
For transmitting, we use the main antenna of the run station, so no 
problem for us. But if we do it, will be according the rules?
