Hi David, yes, I am an MIT graduate.  I also grew up near Boston in the town
of Needham.  So when I wanted to go home for a weekend or night, it only
took about 45 minutes to get home from my dorm.
It was very convenient.

Hi Alan(n7mit)"

Did you go to M.I.T?  I'm originally from Boston, and know the campus fairly

well.

I hope that you, and your friend decide to establish a remote ham station. 
It sounds that you both are creating a incredible hf set-up.

Best regards,



David S. Pearson-wa4dsp

Hello Mike, the short answer is no, but we will have to make a decision
before too long.  I have a 480SAT, but I use it exclusively on six.  I could
get a second one I suppose, but we would prefer to use the equipment that
Stan already has.  He has 4 Kenwood TS990Ses, so perhaps he could dedicate
one of them to remoting.  We shall see.

Hi Alan:

Have you decided on a remote station option?
I'm thinking the Kenwood TS-480SAT with the remote rig boxes might be the
least expensive option or the remote hams service.
Apparently there's a smart phone client and now a hardware device called the
ORB Control which sells for 175USD and you can connect a paddle, mic and it
can also do digital via its built in soundcard.
The thing is though you still need a PC to change freq and band etc. Very
excited about this as I might purchase this and put a remote station back
up. I gotta TS-570DG as a backup rig that could be used.
