Please demonstrate, backed up with appropriate documentation, that such
transnational remote operation is NOT legal.

Transnational operation is illegal when it relies
solely on the provisions of CEPT which, as I have
explained, relates only to visiting amateurs.

This was confirmed at the IARU Region 1 Conference, Sun
City, South Africa, August 2011

  Recommendation SC11_C4_07:

  That member societies bring to their members attention
  that the T/R 61-01 agreement only applies to people
  using their own call sign, with the appropriate country
  prefix, when the operator is actually visiting that
  country, not for remote operation.

  Proposed by REF, seconded by EDR. Approved with four
  against.

>From my perspective there are no "ethical issues".

I contact other radio amateurs using amateur radio,
and enjoy the communications independence which is
its defining characteristic.  When, and only when,
I choose to relinquish that independence, I'm happy
to use Skype or the phone.

The ethical issue is the dependence on public
communications utilities to contact other radio
amateurs - all the while asserting it's all just
another form of amateur radio.
