This being made is that anyone could improperly, illegally, whatever use
their own call...Ie a USA call from an Italy remote to work some rare
DX. It certainly can and it probably happens. Cheaters will cheat.
I don't compare my DXCC to anyone else. I have no clue how they did it
and don't
Doug,
I don't think using remotes in different countries would be permitted
even under the most liberal interpretation of the new ARRL DXCC rules.
As far as I know, for example, using the RHR site in Sicily would
require me to sign IT9/W4EF. If I were to simply sign W4EF, I would

Yes the DXCC award you have earned is yours.
But the problem is the publishing of the standings. The cheaters,
commercial RHR users, ethical types are all grouped together. If the
standings were not published, highlighted, promoted then it would be a
personal award. But when ALL are grouped
Why does publishing the results change anything. Is there a prize for
being Honor Roll number 1?
How do you account for all the other dirty contacts on the DXCC rolls?
Those are just ignored and only remote contacts are the problem?
Once again they publish where you stand. If guess if you
You are suggesting something like WAS where all QSO have to be made within a

It's not that my opinion really matters to anyone but me. I was
thinking more that right or wrong, somebody somewhere will do wrong.
I wasn't thinking as much along the lines of the complaining not
