Mike, they should, just as if they are physically in the US and vic versa.  In 
that case the CV control OP is in error.

Interesting topic(s) and I told myself I wouldn't comment. (but I will
anyways, hi !)

 

The one and only issue I have with RHR is when an IT9 station (or anyone
outside the lower 48) is using a USA remote and not signing /W4, /W1, /W6
etc.

No amount of arguing can explain how that is right.(or probably legal).  I
am trying to setup a very small remote station so I can control my 100w and
vertical stn when I am away from home, working late, coffee breaks or
whatever.  Will I succeed? Don't know yet, but I doubt anyone will care if I
am 25kms away from my rig.  If I was working JA's from a big W7 remote and
signing my home call of VE9AA I would expect that others would not find that
palatable.

 

 

I have known folks with 5kW 6m amps and if they work a new one before me, so
what - they had to cheat and have to try and sleep at night and look at that
guy in mirror every morning.  I have come to accept that no matter if DXing,
contesting or awards chasing, others will always find a loophole or "cheat"
and exploit it, be it illegal, immoral, ethical or whatever.  It will
happen.  Until it affects me in some way, live and let live.

 

 

W1QJ is indeed a good guy.  He did over my SB-220 into a 6m amp and made a
few small cosmetic changes at no extra charge.

 

Although I don't always agree with W8JI, I would be sorry to see him go.
(so please don't)

 

I still find 160m and 6m to be much more gentlemanly and cordial than the
other bands.  Out of 200+ msg's, I find the overwhelming majority to be
civil.  Let's keep 160 (and 6 !) that way.

 

73 de Mike VE9AA, dit dit
