Rick - This aspect is certainly a game changer - and why there has to be some reasonable limit to how far away a remote receiver can be (if it is allowed at all). As W7EW posted, the Step Perry contest has a limit on that.
However, there will always be some stations who will want to give into the temptation and break the rules. This will happen no matter how the rules are crafted unfortunately. If someone consistently can hear you when nobody else can - and they are operating from a small city lot - I would start to suspect something like this is going on. 73 Tree N6TR On Mon, Mar 16, 2015 at 7:01 AM, Rick Stealey <[email protected]> wrote: > I haven't seen this aspect of the subject covered - the impact on "the other > station." > Say I am a little pistol in NJ, and I try to work a station with a big signal > out on the west coast.
