Topband: Remote Radio operation

[WW3S]

if everything (radio, antenna) were in one location, but the op was somewhere else......I dont see the problem, just like a super long 10,000+ mile cord between the cw key and radio.....its when the receiver is in EU and the TX in the Caribbean (or vice versa) that it becomes a “wrong”...either by the rules, ethics, moral, guidelines, whatever you chose to call it.....
