I was one of the lucky ones were I wasn't the boss but I was still able to have
my remote Kachina station at the office.  I no longer have the rig but I still
have my tower and yagi on top of the roof for contesting.

Pictures of the remote are on my website, url below.

I've since abandoned my Kachina setup but remoting is still feasable, although
the Kachina solution is still the best by far, IMHO.

I'm hoping that Ten Tec comes up with some sort of remote solution since Doug
Smith now works there.  It would be nice if a company would offer a turn key
solution that would work with different manufactures rigs.  While controlling
the rig is relatively easy (using PCAnywhere, Winvc, TRX-Manager) the real
challenge is getting the audio back and forth without any audio delays and
without losing audio quality.
