[UK-CONTEST] 3G routers

[John Lemay]

Can't comment on routers, but we've used wireless dongles regularly at G0VHF
without issues of interference in either direction. That's legal limit on 6m
through 70cms, and good power on all bands 23cms to 10GHz.

And as you know, the traffic level for cluster or KST is really quite small
compared to the bandwidth available.

I have found the coverage maps for "3" to be a work of fiction !

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.
