Topband: Remote Operation

[Dragoslav Balaban]

Absolutly agree!!!!,

> It makes absolutely NO difference where the operator is sitting.  The
contact is between the two physical stations.

I send same statement few days ago, and its VERY CLEAR, except someone
deliberatly dont want to make it clear....

Callsign is assigned to HAM for Station, and Station have physical /
geographic Location , Latitude/Longitude... 
if Op not operating from that location, then there is /p /m /mm /am etc,  /
ctry pfx if in other ctry,  and its perfect system

then only question remain is how far RX Antenna/ Antennas can be from TX ,
as we taking TX Location as Station location
(is remote Acces by dedicated IP Link, public  Interent, RF Link, make no
diffrence at all...)

All this is self understandable, so I think no need for any wide discussion,
I just repeat my Opinoin....

To me the remote operation ethics have always been clear, and still are.

It makes absolutely NO difference where the operator is sitting.  The
contact is between the two physical stations.

Any station - remotely controlled or not - must identify legally under the
rules of the county in which the RF transmitter and receiver are located.
This includes properly identifying the zone, state, section, grid square,
whatever the current activity requires. 
When it is just the country, that must also be clear.

In this case, if OE1AZS was using the W4ABC station, he could legally
identify in two ways, Just W4ABC, or W4/OE1AZS.  It is NOT legal for a
transmitter in the W4 district of the US to be identified ONLY as OE1AZS.

It does not matter if the person, OE1AZS, is sitting at the knobs at W4ABC,
or is sitting at home controlling the W4ABC station by remote control.

But, folks who can, will cheat just to be first in a log. They really only
cheat themselves, to the DX station, its just one more contact  Claming the
contact for DXCC or any other kind of award credit is cheating.  Again, the
person most cheated is the individual who submits the contact for the award.
