[TenTec] Satellite Internet de W1AEL in tennessee

[Allan H. Kaplan]

Wayne,
I have the OMNI VII and Wildblue Satellite Internet at home, and based 
on my experience with Web access on this marginal  provider, I would not 
even try to operate my home station via the Internet!  There is an 
amount of delay in response that would be intolerable for all but 
pre-arranged ham radio QSOs with folks who know your situation. I cannot 
speak for Directway Satellite ISP performance, though.  I have operated 
OMNI VII remotely via wireless internet, and it is pretty good and 
getting better.  Full disclosure:  I am a former engineering employee of 
Ten-Tec (retired) and still help out on occasion.
Hope this helps. 
Allan W1AEL.
