Hello David,

I was wondering if you could send me copies of my SA302 for the two last financial years please.

Thanks.

Best regards,

> Remoting is more subtle.  My fixed station is at my mountain QTH, 100 miles from Denver.  My Denver home is HOA-limited and due to foil-backed insulation in every wall is effectively a Faraday cage.  I am looking into remoting by Internet over that 100 miles.  If I do that, I personally would be comfortable adding any new ones to the ones I got while sitting on the mountain.  But there is no way I would feel right about adding an ATNO I snagged if I rented a station on the Atlantic or Pacific coast for the occasion and remoted from Denver to there.  Is that a difference in kind, because I own one and don't own the other?  A difference in degree because one's 100 miles and the other is over 1,000?  How about if I had a summer place on Nantucket and I personally owned the equipment there, operating it remotely from Colorado?  A difference in kind, or a difference in degree?

> Again, and as others have said, I compete for me and against me, and I know from where I snagged what.  But some hams compete against other hams and that is, generally speaking, to the good as well.  So what should the rules be?  The WAS rule, I believe, says within a 50 mile radius.  I am one QSL short of 5BWAS because NE on 10 from my side of the Continental Divide in CO has eluded me for more than a decade.  I could drive to the CO/NE state line with a KX3 in the car but that would be a rule violation, so I haven't.   Should there be a radius limit for DXCC as well?  Should remoting be a separate rule of some sort?
