Topband: Use of Remote Receivers During 160 Meter Contests

Guys, please keep up this discussion.
I am reading all the comments, and it helps to hear what people are
thinking.
I won't make any personal comments until after I digest it all.

I will tell one little story about last night.
Although I am not really a DXer, I happened upon the E30 on 1811 with a
very strong signal.
There was a huge pileup of USA calling, including me.
He worked just a couple of EU stations, and no USA that I could tell.
It occurred to me he should just dial into to a Web SDR and listen.
But that is not a pure radio QSO.... If he has local noise they need to
figure out a way to hear on site. Or maybe not... I am so confused.

73, Andy N2NT
