it's perfectly legal to operate remote in the US and Canada.
His cagyness likely stemmed from some peoples desire to be secretive or =
not
to give too much information away...most hams aren't like this, and will
overwhelm you with all the smallest details lol, but others feel they =
have
to hold information back for privacy or whatever...also the remote he =
was
using may not have been his and the remote station operator/controller =
may
have asked that he not give away the details of the station or the =
system
being used.
Beyond that, as long as he was identifying himself with a legitimate =
call
sign everything is legal.
The fact that he said openly that he was operating remote says allot, =
but
perhaps it's a brand new remote system of hardware or software that =
isn't
yet available to the public and he was asked to keep it underwraps for =

Hi all:
1st up let me wish all of you a belated but better than never happy and
healthy new year.
The other night I was working W2RE on 75M and he told me he was oping =
remote
from NY. I asked him if he was using either remote hams or the remote =
ham
radio service and his response seemed strange. He told me he couldn't =
say so
this makes me wonder if working DX from a remote station in the states =
is
actually legal?
Hed also told me that he'd purchased 63 achers in Main and he was going =
to
put up some rotating towers. He is hoping to have this station =
operational
late 2016. He=C2  had a significant chunk=C2  of the DX window hogged =
yet he
couldn't tell me which remote service he was running.
