Greetings All
I am a bit confused here - as it appears are many others
Assume I am a visitor to the USA and a contest operator asks me to join a multi
op station. I do not have a USA callsign what you are saying is I cannot join
in as I need to have a US callsign to operate the station under the supervision
of the control op?
Is that how it is meant to work? Are you saying any operation by a Multi op
from any location without all ops having local call signs should be
disqualified? It would be a long list

I don't have a problem with remote contesting either, as long as it is done
legally and ethically.
The legality under CEPT for US operations at best is undetermined.
ARRL regulatory has one opinion which says that it is not. Individuals have
other opinions. What I do not see here is the FCC saying whether it is legal or
not.
There is also a potential violation of US regulations if foreign operators
exceed the power and frequency limits of their home license.
Despite what W5OV says, Part 97, specifically 97.107 is extremely clear about
this. The operating terms and conditions of the home license must be observed.
This includes power and frequency limits.
The ethics, well that is up to an individual and their conscience.
