Thomas,

It would be interesting if I had a remote receive site in Asia so that I
could hear the last four zones I need on 160M. I do know I get out better
than I can receive because of my limited amount of land. So, if I could hear
them, maybe I could work them?

At least in my estimation, I feel it is the nature of working DX that your
operation is in one specific place for working DX, both for receiving and
for transmitting. In fact some of the contests specify this.

 

I don't have any issues with remote sites for listening and transmitting at
the same time.  I think it is a "cool" feature. It offers the possibility
for folks to get on the air with some decent antennas in cases where they
can't have antennas at work or home. Maybe even a remote club where several
hams can enjoy the remote antennas? I can picture a home station involving
just a laptop and low power KX3 tied into nice unmanned hilltop station.
Maybe multiple rigs on the hilltop with amps, multi-antennas? Maybe
multi-multi operation? Develop some software that say a few of us were "on
the air" remotely and could sent text messages between all the ops?

 

W2RE has a video on remote operation that is real neat.

 

Even if we can do it and over the years some have set it up through phone
lines and other methods to hear very remotely, I do not believe it is in the
best interest of DXing and Contesting.

 

Full Duplex could be nice for SSB and Digital. QSK on CW pretty much
provides that now as far as knowing when the other station comes back to
someone. Can't think of any other time full duplex would be helpful. But I
do agree with SSB and Digital.

One good reason would be that you could have full duplex receive/transmit,
if you have a secondary site a ways away. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to
hear the other station while you are transmitting? Another reason I can
think of is if you have a secondary location with much more space e.g. for
Beverage antennas.

I hope we can't do that. I feel you either receive/transit from the remote
site or receive/transmit from the local site. From a contester and Dxer
perspective I do not like the idea of mixing the two. There may be other
reasons to mix, and I may be being shortsighted on this.

Not at present. This may be possible, but I can't promise it.
