I do have one question about remote operating...  if I am on an airplane
using this station during a contest - and travel over the international date
line - what date do I put in the log?

==== Cute question, Tree. Asking the question another way... If you were
flying in an eastward direction, and the contest began on January 31, at
0000, you quickly made 2 Qs, but at 0001 you crossed the IDL, would you have
to wait nearly 24 hours to resume the contest? :o)

However since you abide by a high ethical standard, and are operating a
remote station, you would have known to abide by the UTC date of the remote
QTH.
