My remote station has been in operation for several years.  It is about 10 miles from my house.
It is setup for transmitting and receiving.  What I found out from participating remotely in a Stew Perry or two is that it just wasn't the same experience for me, and I would still go to the site to operate CQ160.
When the site receive capabilities were degraded, I found a new place 75 km away.  I go there for the weekend and set it all up for the Contest.  The Receive capabilities are better, but not the TX.  Many times I wished that I could use my remote to call a multiplier and increase my score, but the rules are the rules.

It does not seem to me that it would be too difficult for you to drive to your  RX site only 50km away, put up an Inverted L antenna and actually give out multipliers that count.
