See the Remote Ham Radio Page at
https://www.remotehamradio.com/pricing/ ; They only allow those who hold
a US license to signup for their amateur radio service. Anyone can
signup for their SWL plan.
The owners of BeLoud.us are friends of mine and I'm pretty sure they
also only allow those with US licenses to operate their stations as well.
The rules for remoting to a station outside the US depends on that
particular governments rules. The rules for Bonaire were changed by
their licensing agency to allow us to remote to the PJ4G station without
a control operator physically at the station location. That's why PJ4A
was on the air during the COVID-19 shutdowns. On the other hand the
rules for Curacao (PJ2) are different and require an on-site control
operator. That's why PJ2T wasn't on the air.

It is also one where you may not want to ask the question and get and answer

Good question Ed.
Mike I think you're stretching that mic cord to the point where it breaks. I
decline to pin a conclusion on the personal opinion of one Canadian radio inspector.
The real questions for contest operations would be about whether or not the control
operator really is present, and whether or not that control operator is actually
controlling the operations. Even so, if I let my unlicensed daughter operate, she
can't exactly enter the CQWW like that. If I let some ham from another country
who is not licensed in the USA use my station via remote control, not sure that op
can enter CQWW.
Frankly, CQ and ARRL should simply weigh in with their positions on this question
and tell us what it is. I bet there is very little gray to it at all.

Hi Edward
The challenge is, of course, the regulations have not kept up to
technology.
In Canada, I had an Radio Inspector describe remote HF operation as a
long Mic cord. There are no laws that say the operator has to be
sitting in the same room as the radio station. You are still governed
by the laws based on the location of the physical transmitter.
Reciprocal licensing only comes into play if you want to use your
callsign while operating from a foreign country. It does not apply if
you are guest operating (which is what this is). In fact, you can be
a guest operator without having a license as long as another correctly
licensed ham is in complete control of the station.

Actually I don't believe you are correct. When you are "in person"
in the country, you are governed by the reciprocal licensing of the 2
countries for people visiting. There is nothing in that normal
language that discussing doing that virtually for most countries
(maybe some have added language - not sure). An internet connection
does not make you "in the country". Which is a good thing for tax purposes..
This is in fact the question.

This would be the same if I visited from Canada to the US and visited
someones station and operated a contest from their callsign. Nothing wrong
with that as long as it doesn't exceed the terms of my license. Think of
it as a long mic cord. :)
The question is can I 'keep' the QSO's in my person log?
Good question.

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.
