Hi, Mike Well, I've been licensed and a DXer since February 1957. In my opinion remote stations and operations should NOT be acceptable for DXCC. Perhaps a special NEW DXCC could be established for those operations Most of us over the decades have worked diligently so improve our stations and antennas within the bounds available to us! To have to compete with remote Super Stations that are sited to provide significant advantages on certain DX paths or bands REALLY spoils it for oo many of us, and establishes is as a "Sport for the Rich" like so many other things in our society! I am opposed to offering conventional "DXCC" credit for remote operations!

One of the topics up for discussion is the recent change in DXCC rules, particularly as to the use of remote operations for DXCC credit. I would be interested in knowing what you, the ARRL member, feel about the rules for DXCC. In particular, I would like to know what your opinion is regarding crediting (for awards) DX contacts made by remote control operations, be they through self owned or rented stations. I would be also be interested in your experiences if you have operated remotely in chasing DX for DXCC credit. If you have any other items of interest, please also let me know. Thank you. 73 de Mike N2YBB -------------------------------------------------------------------- ARRL Hudson Division Director: Mike Lisenco, N2YBB n2...@arrl.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from messages, go to: http://p1k.arrl.org/oo/9f9aac45c9716441c7caaf5957d1c686 _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
