Mike, I agree that his answer is very strange. There are no laws or FCC
regulations prohibiting a licensed ham here in the U.S. from working
stations outside the United States. However, it is illegal for us to operate
a station remotely in a country in which we do not have a valid license. For
instance, it is illegal for me to operate SV8MDV's station which is located
in Greece.

Subject: Remote ham radio legalities :

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  had a significant chunk  of the DX window hogged yet he
couldn't tell me which remote service he was running.
