I can see the day coming when a person will no longer need a "station"
in the usual sense. With internet control, he can simply operate a
station of his choosing - anywhere in the world.
Imagine a few years in the future: Enterprising amateurs in various
countries have set up stations for rent all over the world. You just
log on to their website, pay a modest fee by credit card, and operate
just as if you were there. TX/RX, antenna selection and rotator
control, the whole thing, right there on your computer screen.
The technology already exists to do this; it's just a matter of time,
IMO. What a different world THAT will be.
Comments, anyone?
