May I respectfully point out that DXCC rule 9: b) says: *b)* All transmitters and receivers comprising a station used for a specific contact must be located within a 500-meter diameter circle.
Although it is a rather "strange" rule, it only mentions transmitters and receivers, it thankfully does not mention antennas at all. 73 Thor, TF4M On Sat, Oct 12, 2019 at 7:00 PM Greg - ZL3IX <[email protected]> wrote: > Guys need to be more discriminatory when discussing remote operation.
