Guys need to be more discriminatory when discussing remote operation. I use a remote installation, and have for years, but I abide by the DXCC rules which state that the Tx and Rx antennas have to be within 500 m of each other. Furthermore, this installation I designed and built myself, and I maintain myself, with great effort. This practice should NOT be equated with the practice of using a random Rx installation on the Net, probably not even in the same country as the operator using it.

Good for you Roger....you always hear about hams using remotes to work the dx, but 
they don’t usually say much when the dx uses a remote to hear them....

There is no way an organization such as the ARRL can prevent cheating in the 
DXCC program. It has to depend on the honesty of the hams involved. Yes..some
people will cheat but I can't see how they can derive any satisfaction from
that.

Last year I worked VU2GSM on Top Band. I heard rumors that Kanti used remote
receiving locations and, when asked, he freely admitted it. He's in my log
but I didn't claim credit for that contact.

YMMV!
