Topband: CQWW160 Remote receiver rule

[Wayne]

	Technically that is all true. "In the beginning," as rule ten says,
all contacts were to be made by the the same licensee. That was the
intent at the time.

	But primarily because of multi-op _contesting,_ the practical
outcome was that when other operators come to your station to do a
contest, no one knows exactly who made "the" contact, So, that meant
that others could make QSOs for your DXCC, from your station.At the
same time, since it is perfectly legal to use another's station, it
became general practice to allow QSOs that you make from another
station. The current rule was written to reflect what had become
accepted practice over many years: That you had to be involved in each
QSO in one way or the other. 
Rule 10 might not be written with that same intent today, especially
considering the recent move to burden DXers with --  moral or ethical
considerations.

 Where does it say this?

 Rule ten of DXCC makes it all about the operator's call signs
(multiple). It 
 doesn't have to be his equipment or station. If it is his equipment,
he 
 doesn't even have to be the operator as long as it is with (one of)
his 
 call(s).

 The ARRL apparently doesn't have a problem with people using someone
else's 
 station to work DXCC. Following the rules, someone can earn DXCC and
never 
 have personally made a single contact, or a person could have DXCC
and never 
 have made a contact using his own station.
