Comments:
I had family commitments this weekend so not much time to operate. I was
experimenting with remote operation using my new 7 inch Astro Tab tablet using
RemoteHams Android app. I used the excellent HamLog app for logging. I tried
both running and s&p. Although a little awkward at first I soon found an
efficient way to switch between apps and make contacts with minimal delay. I
was controlling my K3 which was connected to a HUGE deep cycle marine battery.
I was interested to see how long the rig would run on that battery. Needless
to say it will easily run a K3 at 5W for at least 24 hours and probably much
longer. I operated from my patio, kitchen and deck. We had great weather and
it was nice to be outside contesting. The tablet and apps worked flawlesly.
This was a very fun experiment that proved what kind of operating can be done
when you are away from the shack. 73 -Joe
