Answer Notes
According to FCC rules, any amateur station may be remotely controlled. There is no restriction limiting remote control strictly to repeaters, digital packet nodes, or automatically controlled stations.
As long as the control operator is present at a designated control point and has a control link capable of making the necessary operating adjustments to ensure compliance with FCC rules, remote operation is perfectly legal for any station type. This allows amateurs to operate their home HF stations while traveling or to place antennas in locations with less electrical noise.
