Starting a new topic but it was inspired from the 'K3/0 forum' topic.
I'm still thriving from my Alaskan Ham Home, but know someday (hopefully distant) we will be moving to assisted living and I'm just musing a bit how I can continue operating. Most of those institutions to not permit ham antennas so I wondered how I could continue having a ham station.
Of course a remote station is an obvious solution, but if on meager funds (which assisted living will absorb) how to do it?
Our local ham club built a mobile emergency trailer a couple years back completely outfitted for multi-stations with dual voltage, propane heat, a couple bunks fold-out from one wall. Basic trailer was one of the toy-mover models which got wired, insulated and interior wall and ceiling added plus a nice exterior signage.
That gave me an idea that maybe I could build my station into a similar trailer all interconnected for remote control using internet (maybe wifi). And the trailer parked long-term with power (or solar panels) and an attached crank-up tower either at a storage lot or friendly ham (who has room - like a farm or ranch). Thus all I would need is a computer and K3/0 in assisted living. Might even have a separate trailer mounted dish for eme? Ha!
Any thoughts on this - any issues that one would face? 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com "Kits made by KL7UW" Dubus Mag business: [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
