Arlington County Gov. has its own RACES HF/VHF/UHF remote so that the mobile
command vehicles can have full size antennas when needed rather than mobile
whips...any licensed ham in the public safety group can operate the station.
The ARPSC (www.w4ava.org) has a remote station for its members to use.
I've had my own personal use remote for 8yrs 50 miles from the city operate
160-6m, multiple antennas, big amp, etc.
Ain't the Internet Great ;-)

Subject: [TowerTalk] Remotely controlled stations
Howdy --
These days with CC&R's and more condo and apartment dwelling, the ham
dream of having a nice station is getting harder and harder to realize.
Some
years ago a couple of clever Microsoft guys tried putting one together up
here
in the PNW. There were a myriad of obstacles to overcome but they got it
basically working.
Now in the 21st century there is new technology that is making it
possible to do just that. At least one TowerTalkian that I know of - Ted,
K6XN -
has a nice remote station up in the mountains of California. Here's an
interesting one. Go to _www.qrz.com_ (http://www.qrz.com/) and look up
W1CDO. He
lives in an apartment in Bellevue WA, but his station is 6 over 6 over 6 on
20
completely remote controlled in NEW MEXICO!
Ya gotta love it.
BTW this is not the remote station reflector so let's not go too crazy over
the topic but it shows what you can do remotely with towers and antennas.
Cheers,
Steve K7LXC
