Topband: Use of remote receivers

[Rick Stealey <rstealey@hotmail.com>]

I haven't seen this aspect of the subject covered - the impact on "the other 
station."
Say I am a little pistol in NJ, and I try to work a station with a big signal 
out on the west coast.  He's having trouble with me so he switches to a remote 
receiver in VA and picks me up.  I THINK I've just worked the west coast, but 
in reality my signal only went 200 miles.  If this happens enough I might 
decide not to improve my transmit antenna, or the rest of my station.  Don't we 
all suffer a little as a result?
