How does this fit in with the contest rules, eg CQWW?:

3. All transmitters and receivers used by the entrant must be located 
within a single 500-meter diameter circle or with- in the property 
limits of the station licensee´s address, whichever is greater. 

4. All antennas used by the entrant must be physically connected by 
wires to the transmitters and receivers used by the   
entrant.

OK, it doesn't say that all the antennas have to be in a 500m circle...
