""  RHR requires a log in name, password, and they watch IPs. After some
early abuse, they started checking to be sure the name and password come
from the same IP or IP pool as the user name and password combo. When it is
a foreign user, of which there are a limited number, the traffic is
watched."

Hi Tom

Yes. Everything is so clear and controlled by RHR that no one will use the
remote station to work a new DXCC because they/he/she must use /p or /W4 ,
That use of /remote call sign makes the QSO invalid for DXCC.

So, why not published the call sign of all RHR users and  send it to DXCC
desk!

Let's make this clear and transparent.

DXCC can create a new category for RHR DXCC users?

Is this IT9 is a RHR customer?

I wouldn't know who their customers are, or how many customers they have.

I only care how someone can use my station.

I don't really understand the fuss. The last good DXCC's were when we had a mileage limit. Even then, someone could use a second site. It was actually common to use second sites. W1BU did it from a swamp, even W1BB had two stations. People used BC towers, it wasn't their stuff. One guy used a VOA antenna system. Everyone used to admire that. People would go to other stations as far back as I can remember.

People come here and operate all the time. They work new countries.

Now, suddenly, it is so unfair. How can we survive?
