Topband: Fw: Use of Remote Receivers During 160 Meter Contests

[k1fz]

 Ham radio, like life in general, is evolving. With a lot of technology 
 change, it's a good time to breath some fresh air
and let it jell out.
 
 E30FB did work a few NA, but only on signal peaks.  Other wise they had 
 problems receiving in deep QRM.  (Even VE1ZZ had to repeat his call).

 Although I am not really a DXer, I happened upon the E30 on 1811 with a
 very strong signal.
 There was a huge pileup of USA calling, including me.
 He worked just a couple of EU stations, and no USA that I could tell.
 It occurred to me he should just dial into to a Web SDR and listen.
 But that is not a pure radio QSO.... If he has local noise they need to
 figure out a way to hear on site. Or maybe not... I am so confused.
