[CQ-Contest] Remote contest operation

[C. "Fred" Johnson]

One approach you could try if you're on a restrictive ISP such as 
comcast is getting a VPS (I use linode and openvpn to route all traffic 
from home to the tunnel and then out to the net).. Comcast only sees 
encrypted traffic (thus they think you're on a work VPN) to your VPS... 
Works well.. Upgraded speeds will help if your ISP is employing any kind 
of packet inspection or throttling. I just finally got the kinks worked 
out here...
