[OKDXA] Comments on Remote Operations

[Robert Redmon]

Personally, I see no problem allowing DXCC credit for qsos made from a 
remote transmitter as long as the transmitter is located where indicated 
on the ham's station license.  Wait! That is the status quo.

Spotted on 28.028 was that rather elusive VU4 crowd. I whipped the big knob on my K3 there and heard not a whisper! That's with my whimpy 8el Force 12 monobander. However, I could hear callers. Eastern Europeans mainly, but wait K5NA is methodically dropping his call in there. I tell myself - I bet ol Richard has him maybe an S3 or S4. Even stacks have their limits but nonetheless - Unfair I Cry - but more power and toys to Richard. Life's too short to not have stacked beams on hugely tall rotatable towers!
