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.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Remote Operating - Cross County
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.
