I'm not "anyone who has tried remote with a satellite internet
connection" but I do operate a remote station. Normally, my RT ping
times to the station run around 30-50 ms and the latency is just barely
apparent if I spin the Big Knob really fast. It's really apparent if I
listen off the air on a separate rig of course but I only do that if
testing. RT light time for geosynchronous satellites is in the 250 ms
range to which you'd need to add any other I'net and terminal latency.
I'd guess that some kinds of remote ops would work OK on some modes
[CW/SSB ragchew maybe], but RTTY and digital modes and contest operation
might be a real problem. The most noticeable for an operator might be
the display delay when tuning. At any rate, I think it would be fairly
non-optimal.

I am looking into a remote Elecraft Station.
Thanks in advance.
