« +WAE…»- So?


Does DARC allow remote receivers within 100 km to be used? And allows such QSO 
to be claimed towards achieving WAE award?
What if the operator used remote receiver to make a QSO on 80 or 160 m, and 
then he applies such QSO towards award? Will it count?

 

What about others, who don’t use remote receivers? Are they “in the same boat” 
with remote operators in order to get the award? I often hear West Coast 
stations using remote site from New England without even signing portable. Will 
those QSO’s be O.K. with ARRL for DXCC credit? Must be nice to work some rare 
Pacific countries on 160 from CA and then work EU and AF countries from Maine 
and get excellent Topband DXCC standing! What’s ARRL’s policy on that?
In my HUMBLE opinion (I’m in no way an expert like most people on this 
reflector) the contest rules must be in line with the award rules, or such 
contest QSO’s shouldn’t be counted towards the respected awards.

The country multipliers for the CQWW 160 contest (and DX contest) are based on 
DXCC + WAE countries.

" Why should they be?" - Because multipliers in the contests like CQ WW and 
ARRL are based on DXCC.
