I don't often join in with discussions like these, but ...

Greg,
For DXCC there's no such a 500m rule, you can operate your station (in
New-Zealand) remotelly from Portugal as soon as you use your callsign ZL3IX,
QSOs will count only for New-Zealand.
Have a look at this e-mail a got from DXCC:

You win Roger. Congratulations.

Do you think the ARRL failed to do their due diligence as to whether their new
policy was in harmony with the FCC rules?
And of course this is about remote operations.

It’s not my intent to disparage anyone. Just an attempt to better define the
intent of the rule as it relates to what a station is. Maybe if the feed point
of those antennas are within the circle it’s good to go. Beyond that maybe
another rule applies.

I think in Frank's case the WAS 50-mile rule applies.

I think the key word is “Station” which assumes that 500M diameter circle
encompasses all aspects of the station to include feedlines and antennas.
A transmitter and/or receiver are not a station without their associated
antenna systems.

May I respectfully point out that DXCC rule 9: b) says:

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

Every time the issue of station callsigns comes up I hear all kinds
