Excellent Journey, I was able to make a remote QSO with you a couple years ago when you were in Greece to La Jolla to my qth in Michigan.

  Howard. Please let me say thanks for laying the ground work for us younger hams. I'm 55 and been a ham a long time. Been into radio even longer. But It's guys like you that contribute the useful info to this wonderful hobby. I have more QSL cards from age 8 then I do now.  I would have never done it without guys like you that go out of there way to teach the real hobby. As there are quite a few appliance operators out there. Theory and involvement is where it's at.  73 Thank you and God Bless.

Enjoyed your post. Wow, what a cool ride you've had.. I've been remote ops for about 8 years. My QSOs from Barcelona last month were a topper for me. And it was just like my other remote ops, easy and straightforward at this point. And I was surprised I didn't notice any delay on my remote QSOs back into S51DX and ER4DX, or with stateside stations on 20 and 80 meters ( as transcontinental live news reports often suffer a 5 second delay). This is my best remote station so far with a Flex 6600, Maestro if I want it, RF-Kit amp (w/ 4 ant outputs), Quad band switching, rotator control, etc. I've done several contests from other states with little or no problems. Yes very fun.

Great post Howard! Your's is like a modern Danny Weil story. I suspect your lifestyle and operating preference has been a boon to FRS as well. Thanks for your input on the community. Clay N9IO

Been in the Balkans for the last month. Remoted the 6500 from Bosnia, Montenegro, Croatia, Solvenia, as well as Italy and Austria. Worked a treat, even with poor wireless. People who know my home audio couldn't tell I was operating remote. Larry, W1IZZ

Very cool Howard!  More than 80% of my hamming is remote using my 6700 and PGXL, although my remote locations are pretty boring.  Mostly from work.

I now use a MS Surface Pro 6 for Digital modes. Via Smart-link. I use iPad Pro via Parallels Access via DDUTIL to control my MonstIR, SPE 2K-FA and Rotor . I use My iPad Pro via SSDR/iOS for SSB. I have not voluntarily worked CW since 1958. I actually like the iPad + Surface combo because it’s like have dual monitors.
