Do you get the impression that the ARRL has always been lagging behind
dragging their feet and slow to grasp the many advances in our hobby
that lie ahead? This is evidenced by their collective inability to make
needed upgrades to programs and contest rules. A perfect example is the

Why should we be concerned where the operator of a remote station is
actually located. The location of the actual station is all that really
matters. Remote control of your station provides an amazing advance of
our hobby. It provides an reliable escape to so many who are not able

This issue is actually bigger than the farce it is making of the ARRL awards

Although I agree with many who have posted to this thread I will only say
this.
The ARRL can not create a DXCC rule that they have no ability to enforce.

It’s an easy problem to solve. Just change every country with districts into
multiple DXCC entities. WØ-W9. Ten new countries. VE1, VE2, VK1 etc. Move to
another “country,” start all over. And restart DXCC by band and mode from

Hi Greg,

are against remote operation !
I am all for remote operation even from space, what ever floats your boat.
The issue is DXCC award entitlement.

Well, I've been licensed and a DXer since February 1957. In my opinion
remote stations and operations should NOT be acceptable for DXCC. Perhaps a
