[Elecraft] KX3/KX2 remote for FD

[Dan Presley]

I’ll comment briefly about what we’re doing but I don’t want this to morph into a discussion about what others may think or wish to do for FD. Remote operating is as likely in a disaster scenario as any other-all depends on your infrastructure and whether you rely on conventional internet access or other networks. Nothing wrong with home operation or solo portable either. Field day this year is what you choose to do comfortably and explore options to keep you safe. Our setup is designed for near total isolation and no close  contact with other operators. Oregon has strict guidelines that we’ll follow-so far we have the lowest rate of infection in the country and plan to keep it that way. Exploring remote operating will also benefit many hams that may not have access to larger antennas or quieter locations well beyond this particular event. If you want to know more about our plans I’m happy to discuss that off the reflector. 
So-what are options for remote control of the KX3 and KX2?

We will have an individual effort also. I'll be running my KX2 or K1 off the aux battery I pull from the Land Rover just like I would if the big one hits. CW only so no computer needed except for logging (which can run from mains power per the rules). Gonna be different!!
