Topband: Blatant cheating using Remote Operation

[Greg - ZL3IX]

Guys need to be more discriminatory when discussing remote operation. I 
use a remote installation, and have for years, but I abide by the DXCC 
rules which state that the Tx and Rx antennas have to be within 500 m of 
each other. Furthermore, this installation I designed and built myself, 
and I maintain myself, with great effort. This practice should NOT be 
equated with the practice of using a random Rx installation on the Net, 
probably not even in the same country as the operator using it.
