If I am licensed in the US, I can operate my US station remotely from from 
anywhere.

If I am not licensed in the US (but have some sort of reciprocal privileges) 
then I believe that I can remotely operate a US-located station using my call 
as in “W0/mycall”.

“Borrowing” a US station call strikes me as outside the rules for a single 
operator.  Presuming a local control operator, you might (heavy emphasis on 
“might”) be OK in a multi-op category.

Disclaimer: I am not an FCC official nor a contest sponsor, and I have never 
operated station KØHB from P5.

I continue to see postings of scores by a ham outside the US operating a US 
based remote site.  The hams do not have their own US callsign and "borrow" 
someone else's callsign from the US.  I am pretty sure this is an illegal 
operation in the US.  Am I missing something?  Its happening pretty much every 
contest now.
