Sometimes you don't want to follow the DX instructions...
Yesterday E30FB was on 18.155, listening up 5 to 15, which ends up being out
of band. That didn't stop lots calling above 18.168

You're right. I forget which one did it but I think was E30 calling up 5 to
15 and 9Q was at 15 up. Still in band but causing QRM. The 9Q and 7Q have
kept their pileups fairly close to their own frequency.

We would like to make very clear that The Stew Perry Top Band DX
Challenge allows remote receiving sites up to 100 km away from the

accommodate contesters who can't put up their Rx system at their station
site due to

Oh my God, I had no idea that this would be seriously considered. Part of this
game we play has to do with station building. Some can afford to have someone
build it for them. Some do it themselves. Some spend the time working with
neighbors and utility companies to minimize QRN. Some

Greetings Fellow Topband Contesters:
During the last week of January the topic of remote RX systems was extensively
discussed on the TB reflector. I was on my way to K1N and didn't have the time
nor opportunity to pay proper attention.

Mark,
Unless others speak up, N2NT is inclined to change the rules and allow remote
RX systems.
So the time is NOW to make your thoughts known on the reflector.

I just moved to the country a couple of years ago specifically to have space
to build antennas. To me, that's traditional real radio. Your gear, your
antennas, your effort.
However I do understand that the option of home-brew, home-grown, country
living may not be available to everyone.
In my opinion the stew perry rule is in the spirit of contesting.
Technically advanced stations might all be able to squeeze out a few more
db of SNR yet there are limits and importantly the rule doesn't create an
arms race for a single prime location.
I don't think we necessarily understand the

All that is said in this text is correct but it doesn't go far enough. And I

Stan brings up an interesting point. Out of curiosity, how many stations in
the top 20 scores of TBDC, use remote receivers within 100km, as allowed by
the rules?
