Hello contesters,

I have been using a 3G modem when portable contesting for some time and 
I see that there are now wireless routers that accept a 3G dongle 
directly. These are attractive to me as it gives some redundancy in a 
multi PC system as no single computer is responsible for internet 
connectivity.

I understand that some folk are using these dongles for broadband at 
home, and I wonder if anyone has suffered problems with RF and I would 
particularly appreciate comments about the performance of a 
dongle+router in a contesting environment. This may be a bit left field, 
so I might just have to buy one to try, although it will be pretty 
difficult to choose a brand as all the major manufacturers are close in 
price and www reviews.
