I agree with John,

Receiving systems should be allowed only on the station property. I can
understand the Stew Perry exemption but that opens up a can of worms.
If you give an inch people will take a mile as the saying goes.

I agree, as long as it also applies to a station that is operated remotely. If we know about cheaters and are certain of it, why are their identities not made public?

I strongly disagree with W2GD on one thing though. DX Contesting is an East Coast Old Boys' Club, and while it makes them happy and boosts their egos, it is NOT good for contesting in general. There is VERY little interest in DX contesting west of the Rockies in proportion to the numbers of hams in each region. It is LONG past time for DX Contest scoring rules to be changed so that those outside the East Coast are in the game.
