I think setting up your personal station at home for remote is OK as it is your station equipment and your antennas. Commercialized RHR is a whole different ball game to me. To me it is a business and for every station receiving money for the use of such stations RHR needs to report that income to the IRS in a 1099 form regardless. Hence I no longer see it as Amateur radio which is service not for hire.
