DXCC rules say that you can count a QSO made from any STATION location 
(that is, where RF is transmitted and received,) anywhere in the lower 
48 states.

Yep.

Me too. When I moved from Chicago to NorCal 12 years ago I started over 
with DXCC. There's a guy who takes pride in being at/near the top of 
DXCC on 160M, but he started in CO, then moved to NC.  I strongly 
approve of operating remotely from a station that is close to you, 
especially if you built the station!  I view with contempt those who 
would use remote operation of a station much much closer to DX than 
their own, or even rent that station and travel to it, and count QSOs 
made from that station for DXCC.
