And don't forget remotes. While they may not be feasible from every
location and operation, it allows the DXpedioner to be at both ends of
the same QSO.

Hi Paul,
Think about an eventual P5 activation, a mega one, with lots of ops.
The likelyhood that many of them will not have P5 already confirmed, is
a real possibility. They will be there making a lot of people happy, but
not adding that ATNO themselves, unless another ham operate from their
home station. And P5 being what it is, another activation may take a few
generations to happen again.

On the other hand...
Tim Pettis, KL7WE (SK), in chasing WAS on 432, was known to visit
needed rare states with a portable EME station, put it on from there,
and work his own station (as well as others) to get credit for those
states. Another ham would operate his home station. This action of
visiting ops operating stations of guys on DXpeditions continues to
this day and contacts made like this should be and are considered to
be completely valid. You should consider re-evaluating the contacts
made by your good friend.
