Of course YES, it is cheating, either remote RX, or remote TX, or even worse, remote RX and TX.
What the point if using artificial ways of making a QSO? Remember "if you can't hear, no need to call", but this assumes implicitely "from your own QTH" !!!!!
ClubLog is a great tool to detect such behavior, of course. It really shows the stupidity of such behavior, above all when the QSO are practically NOT possible.
Example :
I identified a guy from France who was logged with E6GG on 80m CW more than 45 minutes before his sunset !!!!!!!!!
Well, same guy did it again on 40m in the T2GC log, 2 hours before sunset !!!!!!!!
But I will not give his call-sign, as I hope that the fact he has been "detected" will make him stop this cheating behavior.
