Some love them some hate them! But what the hell does it matter ? As long as the remote operator is staying within the rules and correctly identifying the transmitter location. Coming from experience
Exactly! I don't know why it is so hard for some people to grasp this. If the path between the transmitters/receivers of both stations is via the aether, ionosphere, free space or whatever you want t

Hi Paul, You just broke your argument. "Conversations take place between people. Telephone calls take place between people. QSOs take place between people." Exactly. A telephone call is a conversatio
I have been trying to say that these "irrefutable facts" are indeed refutable. I know of quite a few instances where a station was controlled remotely by other means than internet. Some of them are,
1. Non-remote operators are at all times communicating over wires. 2. Without wires, there would be no communications whatsoever with other operators. What exactly is your point, Paul? Ed W0YK ______
You know, for one of my radios, there is a piece of CAT6 cable that connects the control unit (into which I plug paddles, headphones, and on rare occasions a mic) with the main body of the transceive
Also I am missing something. The radio2radio QSO is. Adding some more wire or anything fabricated between the operator and poewr amplifier output is just an add-on that adds to complexity and subtrac
<snip> I have, between my lips and my transmitter, I have a bunch of relays, capacitors and a transformer or two. And there is a computer, it's whole infrastructure whatever there is .. I had a compu
Apparently there are people who think that something like: Operator > control > radio > antenna > repeater > *internet* > repeater > antenna > control > operator is the same thing as Operator > contr
Hi Paul, Comments below -- 500m radius is for the radio station transmitters and receivers. The antennas must be physically connected to the radio. The wording allows remote operation. The rule is ac
Zack et al .. Let's see what needs defining .. This is a typical VUHF repeater setup for a repeater QSO. Right? There are such equipment on at least also 10m band. Using those repeaters is not accord
Actually, I think the difference of opinion boils down to two pieces: Ignoring those contests/events where part of "the object" is for someone to physically go to someplace interesting and operate a
