[UK-CONTEST] Remote Operation

[Colin]

Stewart,

The prefix used depends on where the radio equipment i.e. the 
transmitter and antenna is located.

Yes, M0CMK may operate your station remotely as per the new Clause 3(2) 
providing you are directly supervising the operating i.e. at her location -

> 3(2)      The Licensee may permit the operation of the Radio Equipment 
> by a person who holds a current United Kingdom Amateur Radio Licence 
> provided that any such operation of the Radio Equipment is carried out 
> in the presence of and under the direct supervision of the Licensee 
> and that such persons are made aware of, and of the requirement to 
> comply with, the terms, conditions and limitations of this Licence.
Clause 3 being concerned with operators and qualifications

which is supported by -

> 10(3) This Clause 10 does not permit the Licensee to install Radio 
> Equipment capable of Remote Control Operation for general unsupervised 
> use by other Amateurs.
Clause 10 being concerned with unattended and remote control operation.

If you are in Holland operating your station in Scotland then you still 
use GM4AFF.   The location of the "keying position" makes no difference 
whatsoever.

I can operate my home station using a remote connection over the internet. If I'm in GM then I would sign GM4AFF anyway. But if I let my QSL manager Linda M0CMK operate it remotely, what call does she use - M0CMK or MM0CMK? This could get a lot more complicated, if I was in Holland and operated remotely, what then?
