Thomas, It would be interesting if I had a remote receive site in Asia so that I could hear the last four zones I need on 160M. I do know I get out better than I can receive because of my limited amount of land. So, if I could hear them, maybe I could work them?
At least in my estimation, I feel it is the nature of working DX that your operation is in one specific place for working DX, both for receiving and for transmitting. In fact some of the contests specify this. I don't have any issues with remote sites for listening and transmitting at the same time. I think it is a "cool" feature. It offers the possibility for folks to get on the air with some decent antennas in cases where they can't have antennas at work or home. Maybe even a remote club where several hams can enjoy the remote antennas? I can picture a home station involving just a laptop and low power KX3 tied into nice unmanned hilltop station. Maybe multiple rigs on the hilltop with amps, multi-antennas? Maybe multi-multi operation? Develop some software that say a few of us were "on the air" remotely and could sent text messages between all the ops? W2RE has a video on remote operation that is real neat. Even if we can do it and over the years some have set it up through phone lines and other methods to hear very remotely, I do not believe it is in the best interest of DXing and Contesting. Full Duplex could be nice for SSB and Digital. QSK on CW pretty much provides that now as far as knowing when the other station comes back to someone. Can't think of any other time full duplex would be helpful. But I do agree with SSB and Digital. 73, N2TK, Tony From: Thomas Horsten [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 1:26 PM To: N2TK, Tony Cc: Wayne Burdick; Gregg Marco W6IZT; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 One good reason would be that you could have full duplex receive/transmit, if you have a secondary site a ways away. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to hear the other station while you are transmitting? Another reason I can think of is if you have a secondary location with much more space e.g. for Beverage antennas. 73, Thomas M0TRN On 16 January 2012 18:23, N2TK, Tony <[email protected]> wrote: I hope we can't do that. I feel you either receive/transit from the remote site or receive/transmit from the local site. From a contester and Dxer perspective I do not like the idea of mixing the two. There may be other reasons to mix, and I may be being shortsighted on this. 73, N2TK, Tony -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wayne Burdick Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 11:56 AM To: Gregg Marco W6IZT Cc: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3/0 Not at present.
