[CQ-Contest] DXCC cheating using out-of-country remotes

I'm sure this isn't a new problem, but it's pretty obvious with the current
KP5 operation.

Listening to the pileups, I've heard a number of European callsigns calling
the KP5 on the high bands during the USA evening, with loud signals here in
Colorado, when the band is not open to Europe.  Obviously they are using
remotes in N. America.

Clearly this destroys the integrity of the DXCC program.  Does anyone
care?  Is anything being done to address it?
