depends on the rigs too. not too many of these new rigs can handle
signals like that.

Charly, if you are really using an antenna of your farm, I don't think
that you can listen anything while your partner is transmiting. The only
way to do that is to use, as you have said, a REMOTE antenna, and I
think
that it's forbidden, at least in all the contests I've ever Known.
However, if you are really using an antenna of your farm, and despite
the
fact that you won't be able to listen when you parthner is TXing, you'll
be
able to help him catching callsigns that he couldn't listen because
of the
pileup or because of his main antenna beam direction. I think that there
are many contest-logger programs that gives you the posibility of doing
that with the proper setup of your station as a support station of the
main
one. I've done this in a dxpedition with Wintest, and it helped me a lot
to
reaching high rates, because you don't lose any change asking for
callsigns. With this config, your partner could see what you have
heard in
his main screen as if it was the cluster window, and then he'll have his
chance to use what you have heard if he hadn't listened a full callsign.
To put it briefly, I also like being supported or just trying to help
supporting the main station, but in my case, we don't have many
people in
our team so that we could do this. I hope one day...
