"Can I claim a 5000 mile 2m QSO by remotely operating a
station 4999 miles away that can communicate with the DX station in the
same village?"
This is getting a bit silly.
If you operate a remote station - it doesn't matter where you are sitting -

I agree with Mark. Can I claim a 5000 mile 2m QSO by remotely operating a

I guess I'm the only topband guy that hasn't commented on this yet, so here
goes.
I've been doing this DX thing for over 65 years now. Other than WAS on

The fundamental questions seem to be: What is the purpose of a DX QSO? What
does a DX contact signify?In my book, three things:(1) The ability to assemble
a station capable of making the contact;(2) An understanding of propagation
sufficient to identify and exploit the path; and(3) Sufficient
