Watching, lurking, reading the mail on this thread.
I ran 80+ "remote" CW Q's from Dom's station on Fiji with my Fiji license (3D2UN). A leisure effort via AnyDesk. I logged in twice. I can do it anytime I wish. We did it so I could give CW and SSB contacts from where Dom is headed later this year. A dry run, getting used to it "kinda' thing".
Dom wants to dedicate a station for me on T30 and several other not yet announced Entities for CW and SSB while he runs FT8.
It's legal. The LoTW counts, but so far it just doesn't feel right. I've spent my entire 50+ years in Ham Radio making Q's from MY STATION(s). It feels weird.
Dom's putting in the time, money, travel, radios, antenna's, experience and I just log in.
I'm still on the fence whether it's worth my time (no effort) to put up with the idiots, cops, brain dead and deliberate QRMers while sitting here in my shack drinking a Bud Light.
So far it's just, "meh". Time will tell.
