I'm not sure why they make such a big deal about this. I contacted WN4AFP about
a score of mine that was missing and found out they just pull claimed scores
from 3830. So basically I could submit a fake score to 3830 and they would
count it.As the Georgia QSO Party manager I would never disallow any type of
entry whether it's remote or not. Those of us who run successful QSO Parties
all know it's all about keeping it interesting for those out of state. That
means lots of stations to work and as many rovers as possible to keep activity
high.Jeff KU8E Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

cq-contest@contesting.com Subject: [CQ-Contest] Remote operation by out of
staters in state QSO parties This issue came up in the WV QSO party a few years
ago, when the rules were changed to prohibit remote operation of in-state
stations. A number of hams who operate remotely, and some who have houses and
stations in WV but don't live their year round, weighed in and convinced the
rulemakers to allow remote operation. This is a much more common scenario in FL
and I suppose these days ME, with all the remote stations that have gone up in
ME.To me, there are two issues: (1) at the state QSO party level, is there a
problem with in-state stations being remotely opped; and (2) at the state QSO
party challenge, should the cumulative scoring differentiate between in-state
points earned by an in-state op vs. in-state points earned by an out of state
op.Personally, as someone who has frequently operated remotely, at the QSO
party level if remote operating helps more in-state station be on the air
during state QSO parties, I'm for allowing it. At the QSO party challenge
level, unless all state QPs go the same way, the QSO challenge would have to do
something if it wanted to level the field. Personally, I don't really care
about the points in the SQP Challenge, but since the 3830 reporting already
supports remote operation, it would be easy enough to differentiate the points
in a standard way at that level.73 John
