Topband: Blatant cheating using Remote Operation

[thorvaldur S T E F A N S S O N]

May I respectfully point out that DXCC rule 9: b) says:

*b)* All transmitters and receivers comprising a station used for a
specific contact must be located within a 500-meter diameter circle.

Although it is a rather "strange" rule, it only mentions transmitters and
receivers, it thankfully does not mention antennas at all.
