Butch,
As I understand it, in order to operate a remote station, you have to be in
full control of the emissions. If you're operating through someone else's
router, you're not fully in control. As I said, I'm not a legal expert, but
if I were thinking about setting up a remote operation, these are the issues
that would concern me.
