First off, I question the legality of renting a ham station for
profit (which this example seems to be). But it seems to be done for
renting stations in exotic (rare DX) locations with no heart attack
by hamdom. Treated as vacation rentals.
But owning your own remote located station using internet control
from our room in assisted living seems a viable alternative.
Many of these senior facilities ban use of RF devices due to RFI
concerns with pace maker users or medical equipment. Maybe one could
use a 5w HT. External antennas are problem-some. My concept was
installing my ham station in a "toy hauler" trailer with crank-up
tower that could be moved and located in a convenient
location. Also, handy as emmcom station.
Also, some ham groups form a kind of club to jointly own a "super
station" which members share. Such a group in Switzerland own a
45-foot dish which they share using for eme. But organized as not-for-profit.
I do expect any contest/award operations to claim the physical
transmitter location (instead of the remote operator's qth).
