Topband: Use of remote receivers

[Tree]

Rick -

This aspect is certainly a game changer - and why there has to be some
reasonable limit to how far away a remote receiver can be (if it is
allowed at all).  As W7EW posted, the Step Perry contest has a limit
on that.

However, there will always be some stations who will want to give into
the temptation and break the rules.  This will happen no matter how
the rules are crafted unfortunately.  If someone consistently can hear
you when nobody else can - and they are operating from a small city
lot - I would start to suspect something like this is going on.

I THINK I've just worked the west coast, but in reality my signal only went 200 miles.  If this happens enough I might decide not to improve my transmit antenna, or the rest of my station.  Don't we all suffer a little as a result?
