Which brings to mind another issue: 160m card checkers will disallow a card if the DX QSO occurred in the middle of the day since the path would be impossible. Can't make that assumption, anymore.

Obviously they are operating a remote station. Guess I need to log them, Ha. The kicker is when i receive a QSL card direct and they expect a return. Yes I understand the need to integrate modern technology into ham radio. Remote stations, remote receiving locations etc. My opinion is that if you cant operate from your physical location for what ever the reason then try another hobby. Happy new year!
