Anyone who has a K2 and a broadband connection can make it accessible
from the internet using the K2Net software on my site. You can allow
anyone to connect as a guest or give password access to your friends.

I tried this with PA3CW a couple of years ago and it was very
interesting seeing how my signal sounded over there, or comparing what
