K3/100, Acom 1000 and dipoles I don't tend to be very serious in DX contests since I don't have a station at home that can be competitive. Just a PT effort from here. The main reason for being around the shack was to provide technical assistance for the remote station software to John, K4BAI, who operated the PJ4NG / BeLoud.us station in Bonaire remotely as PJ4A from my house. This is the 3rd time he's had the chance to do this remote stuff but he's still not that comfortable with the technology as much as I am. That's understandable since I worked in the computer technology field before I retired. Everything seemed to work OK except for some internet drops (either at my house or Bonaire) that caused us to lose communication to the station. No hardware issues at all. John purchased a Flex Control VFO knob to use with the Flex 6500 since his last remote effort and that helped a great deal tuning the VFO and RIT. Due the COVID-19 I'm pretty sure we won't be able to take our yearly trip to PJ4A for CQWW DX CW in November. Bonaire is still shutdown for American citizens for the foreseeable future and I don't see that changing by November. We thought about doing M/S via the remote for CQWW but with only one radio I don't think we would be very competitive. So I think the next PJ4A remote effort by John with be just a single-band operation. Jeff KU8E
