[Elecraft] Operating remotely via Direct TV satellite provider

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

You can't violate the laws of nature.  That
satellite is 24,000 miles up, so every time you
access the net, there's an absolute minimum of a ½
second delay before you see the response on your
screen.
Since light travels at 186,000 miles per second,
you're stuck with the time delay of four trips
equaling a tad under 100,000 miles.
I typically get 10 to 20 MB speed on Exede
satellite, but that ½ sec makes it seem much
slower.
(My only alternative is 56k land line which I
would find totally obnoxious to have to go back
to.)

Not sure about the audio, but I think latency
would be the bigger issue.  I had satellite
internet (essentially Hughes. net) for about three
years before a wireless ISP opened shop in our
area.  My typical pings were on the order of
1300-1500 msec.  I don't think you'd want to live
with that for anything other than casual
ragchewing.
