Weren't we just discussing this? Maybe it was on another reflector. It IS legal per DXCC rules for you to go to someone else's station and use your own callsign to work another station and count it for DXCC. It is also legal for someone else to come to YOUR station and use YOUR callsign to work a station - and YOU can count it for DXCC. (Provided you both have the same class license). I'm not commenting on whether it's ethical or not. Each has to make up is own mind on that. All I'm pointing out is that it's legal per DXCC rules. I don't know about IOTA rules. I've never gotten into IOTA yet. 73, Zack W9SZ Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [email protected] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
