For those who are in opposition to "Remote Station Contesting" in any way, shape or form, you may want to delete this post now before your blood pressure goes up :-) I have been on a quest since last
Eric, Posted here for group comment and discussion ... When one starts to split the transceiver (one part at the remote site another part at the control point) as is being proposed with the TS-480 co
Joe, W4TV, posted a very interesting quite salient "little legal" question: Some remote control software options I've evaluated reside on the HOST (remote station QTH), and some on the CLIENT (operat
Remoting the control head, which is very cool, should not be the determining factor. What does the control head do? Makes changes to the radio. I have hooked up the 480 via IP with a computer interfa
Rick, Like you, I would want a firm ruling from the contest sponsors and a decision on what constitutes "all equipment" particularly as technology has the potential to change the nature of the transc
Mike, Remoting the control head is probably not the issue. However, there is a greater point as to what constitutes the transmitter or receiver. A line will have to be drawn and it is better to draw
Damb, this'll really enhance productivity of those DXCC Honor Roll guys; no longer will they have to suddenly come down with the "Scarsborough Flu" in the middle of the afternoon and go home 8-)))) T
It would be a lot simpler if the rules were changed to just say all receiving and transmitting antennas had to be in the 500 meter circle, and let physics determine what else needs to be close to the
The phrase "rest of the radio" acknowledges that some parts of the radio are not located at the transmitting/receiving site. Does a QSO represent 2-way communication between equipment or between peop
"Still, those "political" issues are separate from the technology questions." Best statement of the day, Joe. Hams are INNOVATORS. It seems if a technology innovation is perceived as a threat, everyo

It has been written by Joe, and others in the same vein: It occurs to me that requiring the remote operator to be in the same multiplier entity might have unexpected ramifications. Would this mean th
My personal prejudices are that the operator should also be within the "circle" but that may not be practical for some people. However, in any case, the operator should be within the same entity (or

I thought I was out....... but they pull me back in!! My thoughts on the subject are this. 1. I like technology. I use it every day. I'm using it now to talk to you. 2. The "radio apparatus" must be
Joe, W4TV, this note is not directed towards you, but you have, as well as a few others have struck a cord with me, ie the operator should be in the 500m circle. OK folks, as one who has put a lot of
Rich and all, This is obviously a wave of the future just like SO2R but different. The hobby is not in a position to start excluding anyone from contests. The technology today does not allow one to b
Paul: I can't resist. I just checked my 2006 Nov. SS CW log, and you were in it! Did you realize that you worked a remote station for a WTX multiplier? And don't worry I worked another NL station for
The main problem here is Myopic Vision on the part of too many who are failing to see the Contesting "Big Picture" and the need for more stations to work and more QSOs for all. If just 100 currently

Since remote stations are not competitive with SO2R big contester stations, than let's do what we do so often - make another category just for remotely operated stations. We cud call it "SO1R", i.e "
