Topband: The Remote question

[Cecil]

No issue with that...remote operation of your primary station...I don't see any difference between that and local operation of the same station...even if you had worked some DX...great use of the technology.

Because for several remote stations, thats what you are talking about.....I’m currently in Leesburg VA, over 300 miles from home.....but I still operated MY station on and off this weekend, with MY antennas, MY power supplies, MY technology and MY sweat equity in putting it all together.....while I didnt work any 160, or any new DXCC entities, so what if I did? Its still my primary station location, with the same antennas I use everyday, and the same transceiver to generate and receive RF....only difference is my mic and headset cable is about 340 miles long.....
