I checked with the ARRL Contest Manger last year about operating remotely in the ARRL DX Contest from KP2 via remote while still here in California.  "No problem".

Well, "THEE Problem" is that nasty thing called "Latency" (especially for 35WPM CW).  I finally got Wireless Internet here, but trying several routes, it's still between 150ms to over 200ms latency ;-(

For one local remote site location here, I can be at less than 5ms latency with point-to-point 5GHZ gear from AIRAYA ( http://www.airaya.com ).  It will take mucho $$$ for a solar power setup, however less than $100,000 to run landline electrical up to "Locust Peak" ;-(

FYI & 73...
