He could have been at a friend's house and honestly not have known. I dog 
sit for a friend now and then and honestly don't know his antenna setup to 
know which antenna I'm on if I'm on from his station. I know what he has and 
that if signals are strong that antenna works on that band, but it's a 
thought. He may not have known.

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 the
moment.

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.
