[SEDXC] DXAC PROPOSED CHANGES

[Mike Greenway]

DXAC has some new proposals on the table you might like to read.  http://www.arrl.org/files/file/About%20ARRL/Committee%20Reports/2014/July/Doc_27.pdf
The one of most interest to me was regarding remote station operation.  In my opinion they have proposed a good change in regard to DXCC and remote stations.  In my opinion the ability for someone to use remote stations on the east or west coast and claim those contacts for DXCC was an unfair advantage to those using only their home stations or remotes with a reasonable distance of their home QTH.  I have no problem with people using remotes on east or west coast as long as those contacts are not used to compete in the DXCC arena.  Their proposal limits remotes to 200 KM which I can live with.  This would not prohibit you from using your remote wherever you were located in the USA. ie on vacation, traveling salesman, but all contacts would be from your FCC home station accessed via remote or a remote within 200 KM of that home as I understand it.  

I would have preferred 100 KM but 200 will be okay for me.  Please respond to the DXAC committee if you have an opinion on these proposed changes.  Gary K4MQG is the representative for this area.  His email address is listed on QRZ.  73 Mike K4PI
