Hi gary,
I thought that was the rule. But I've not dug into it because I don't
use the remotes. So just now I looked and you are 100% right. Here's
what the ARRL web page says from Section 1...
*9. Station Location and Boundary:*
*a)*All stations used to make contacts for a specific DXCC award must be
located within the same DXCC entity.
*b)*All transmitters and receivers comprising a station used for a
specific contact must be located within a 500-meter diameter circle.
*c)*QSOs made with legally licensed, remotely controlled stations are
allowed to be used for DXCC credit.
Thanks for setting me straight!

www.ac0c.com This is the second post I’ve seen that states this ... did I miss
something in the rules for DXCC? It seems like it does NOT allow for a remote
receiver! It ONLY allows for a remote STATION, see rule 9b. It says, I thought,
that BOTH RX and TX antennas must be within 500M of each other ... so one that
chooses to receive on the right coast when they’re on the left (or vice versa)
ISN’T complying with the rules. I recently heard a station that is often high
on the CL leaderboard – calling the 6O group in the middle of the day on 40
meters when it was being spotted only by W6’s. This guy is on the EAST coast
(LP) ... weird propagation? personally I would not count such a contact – and
would like to see the agreed to if not required use of something like a /s in
the call for SDR RX. This would only apply to those that are using remote RX–
which would then allow stations to decide on what to do with it. But again
unless I misread it, and if so my apologies, it doesn’t allow for remote RX for
DXCC! Gary K9RX
