[Elecraft] REMOTE STATIONS - was Re: iphone remote control for the KPA500

[Jim Brown]

You have a highly distorted view of remote operation, which seems to be 
based on the "rent a shack" of Remote Ham Radio. I do agree that buying 
time on someone else's remote station thousands of miles from your own 
to fill in DX countries is cheating, even though it doesn't technically 
violate rules for the awards. But that's only one small fraction of 
remote operation.

What's being discussed here (I think) is setting up one's own station 
for remote operation, perhaps from a hotel room while traveling, or one 
located in a quiet location that is not bothered by RF noise from 
neighbors, and where antennas are not limited by local restrictions. 
Setting up a station for remote operation is a real engineering 
challenge, especially if there's much antenna switching involved. I have 
a great deal of respect for those hams who have successfully done so.
