[Elecraft] Remote Receivers

[Cady, Fred]

The reverse beacon network is really neat.

http://www.reversebeacon.net/

You can set up to see a map (in the show/hide options) and you can set up to look for specific calls. Great when you are waiting for that DX to come on and to see where they have propagation.

To see how you are doing, set your call in for the DX stations call and then call CQ.

This newbie (I've only been licensed for 60+ years) would like to know how and where one can access them and are they tunable remotely to check signals outside the ham bands?
