[TenTec] Remote rig operations

[DAVID HELLER]

I guess most if not all of us would rather have the actual rig right in 
front of us with at least part of the hardware built by our own hands.  But 
each of us has his/her own likes and dislikes and who's to argue, much less 
critisize, though my prejudiced opinion tends toward a bit of disdain for 
those who refuse to use CW, with subset of those who will use CW with 
keyboard and code reader, and the ultimate appreciation and reverance for 
those real masters of the straight key.  But the thought mentioned of those 
who end their days in a nursing home or the like without the possibility of 
access to a decent station - any way of getting on the air is far better 
than none.
