Re: [RTTY] PLEASE operate in the MAKROTHEN RTTY contest this weekend!

Yep I probably could put up a remote station but for one little 
problem...Where my daughter lives there is no internet access. The metal 
shed is a good idea though.  I have a wood shed in the yard but it 
should not be all that hard to build something out of metal inside it.  
Maybe just a little space for me and the gear. Some heat and air 
conditioning.  I have to get this noise problem under control or I will 
have to give up this hobby for good.
On another thought my local club is pretty savy at all this remoting 
stuff maybe they let me remote my rig someplace they have.

thanks
