This rule --while a good idea with the best of intentions-- was almost certainly intended to help prevent cheating by using a remote receiver FAR from a contest station's QTH. Much farther than 100 miles. And owned by someone else.
So, how could using one's own, private remote receiving setup like this be labeled cheating? I have an underground LAN cable that extends out to a point where I very well might erect an RX-only antenna someday. If I decide to use that in such a way that it uses a VPN (for example) over the Internet in lieu of coax, does that disqualify me? I think not. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 9:20 AM, Frank Davis <fda...@nfld.net> wrote: > The contest rules dictate that e remote receiver controlled over the > internet is not permitted in the CQWW160 contest. > > I have deployed a remote SDR at a seaside location within my home grid > square ... > _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
