[SECC] Multi-Multi remote software?

[Jeff Clarke]

Jim,

I operated the CQ WPX CW contest as a multi-op with the W9SN group. 
Steve, W9SN, has his station setup to operate remotely. WW4LL, AA4CF, 
K1ZZI, W9RNY and myself logged in remotely and operated from home. He 
has Flex Radio's at his station in TN. We used some software provided by 
Flex Radio called SmartSDR that allowed us to control the radios 
remotely. He has Green Heron rotators/antenna switches and we used their 
software called GH Everywhere to rotate and switch antennas. He had a 
computer at home running N1MM Logger Plus and we used some VPN software 
so we would all see the log. Much like networking your computer from 
home but over the internet. That software was Open VPN GUI. Not sure if 
Fred, WW4LL is still on the SECC reflector but if he is he could 
probably tell you if I'm missing anything.

Another way people are operating remotely is using the Elecraft K2 and 
K3's is using the Remote Rig boxes. 
http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=465  I think these will work with 
other radios as well but not 100% sure. You would still need the VPN 
software to login remotely to to the computer running your logging software.

I think what you are thinking of doing isn't allowed in any contest. 
Usually a call sign can only be used at one physical location. But you 
might try what I suggested above if you have a group of people who want 
to operate together but not  have to travel to one physical location to 
do this.

Hope this helps...
