Here are the rules: http://www.cq160.com/rules.htm

"The use of any receiver located away from the main site is strictly 
prohibited."
I gave you my interpretation, and my opinion is that all stations which worked 
him should lose the multiplier. (I worked him too by the way).
 
As far as your unrelated transmit power issue I say that I really don't care.  
If VO1HP didn't come out himself and made his post and decided to enter himself 
as a checklog no one would even know that he operated a remote receiver.  There 
might be others with less integrity that operated in the Contest against the 
rules and will submit their logs.  

VO1HP only made 150 QSO in 8 hours of operating from the Atlantic Coast.  His 
station is clearly unbalanced with the TX antenna the weaker part.  Hopefully 
he has the ability to add a good TX antenna to his nice remote site.
