They had a very nice signal on 10m CW in to my part of the world this afternoon.

Wayne, I really want to hear you as T30UN. About a year ago I asked someone about remoting a station via Starlink and at that time I was told Starlink was not the most suitable choice. In many parts of the world it however may be the only choice. GL and I hope it will be an enjoyable experience for you. And if it is not, than I'm sure it's only Starlink (latency) to blame.

Marvin,

I am leaning on NOT doing any more remote operations.  Not for the reason(s) you're thinking though.  Probably more like a DXpeditioner may think - why should I spend my time getting QRMed by brain dead idiots?  That's not any fun at all.  I'd rather go ride my motorcycles than give the cowards the satisfaction of QRMing me.

When you hear T30UN in a few weeks, it will be Dom, not me.

Well, perhaps when the weather is not suitable for riding your motorcycles, you may decide to give it a try once or twice just for the fun of it. I still have about a foot of snow on the ground in my remote QTH. I have to wait for it to melt, but I can't wait to go there. I need to replace my remote SWR/Power meter that failed this winter in -25C / -13F temperature.  ;D ;D ;D

For me - the extent of my "internet/network dependent" operating (minus spotting clusters, etc) would be remoting into my own station. This started with the popularity of FT8. It's winter time and I'm chasing xyz dxpedition on 80m and the time to hear them is perhaps 5am... I could connect to my pc via vnc to see if I could see if they were on 80m or decode the dxpedition without having to get out of bed. With 6m and the discovery of hamalert.. this evolved to me getting an alert and I could hop onto my pc from basically anywhere and so long my beam is pointed in the right direction.. I could try for that station on 6. With remoting into my computer and using digital there is no delays to worry about.

The only boundary I have and probably will never cross is the pay super stations. I prefer the challenge of using a station I put together and working with the limitations of what I have. I'm sure using a super station is an amazing experience and offers some advantages getting through pileups or hearing a station but it's just not for me. For those who like it or use it, to each their own. For some it might be the only way to get on the air (HOA, etc).

Someday, alas, this might be me.  I can imagine myself, in my late '80s, too frail to maintain a station and deciding between "nothing" and RHR.  Don't know what option I would pick when I got there, but for some of us, that's the choice today.

So now that you all got the crying about Remotes out of your system anyone work him yet,

Not seeing much activity, a bit of SSB and CW on 10m for NA tonight but where is the RIB's

Wasn't that the point, control op work's legacy modes and baby sits the Digi stations while it works away,

Lot's of guys in EU need this one on Digi so hopefully he will fire up at a time to give us a chance,

I've seen a lot of LPL spots for him but not heard anything when I checked... I've got him at 40 and 30 cw.

FO/AA7JV is on CW on 14.026 now at 0930 UTC (0530 my local time). His signal is 599+10dB and he has a decent size pileup. In the brief 10 minutes of listening to him, he has worked NA, EU, AS, OC, AF.

Can someone please translate this post into Simple (and proper) English?

It looks like a stream-of-consciousness, a literary form.

By the way - I have seen a couple of acronyms here - RHR and LPL, for example - which Google does not find sensible meanings for.
There are tens of possible answers to each of them, but none fits the context.
RHR - Radio Horizon Range - makes no sense.

Amateur Radio is a global hobby. There are many variants of English language used in different parts of the world, even within the same country, and the majority of world's population do not understand English at all. It is said that Amateur Radio is about communication with other people. Is it?

Thanks for man-splaining language.....
RHR is remote ham radio
LPL is W3LPL whos automated system sends lots of spots from cw skimmer to the spotting networks.
Hope you ham'enese skills get better!

You might want to look at the call sign of the individual who posted that, and then reply to him in perfect, grammatically-correct Swedish.

Night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end until I reach Top of the Honor Roll

Great times are at hand, and soon there will be DX for all—although more for some than for others.

So now that everyone here is done complaining about remote access ham radio stations, did anyone work him?

Not seeing much activity. Some SSB and CW on 10m for NA tonight but where is the Radio in a Box device  located.

Wasn't that their intention? The control operator works CW & SSB modes while he keeps a watch on the Digital stations working automatically.

RHR - Remote Ham Radio - A business that rents out remotely accessible ham radio stations to licensed hams.

LPL - W3LPL CW spotting network. You can see many W3LPL spots on the DX clusters. Comes from many stations around the United States.

Lots of operators in Europe need this DX entity on the digital modes, so hopefully he will get on the air at a time that will give us a chance.  (And by us, he means European operators.
