<<< Back CTSARA / W1EE Administrators: John, (A)WB1GRB / UPDATE 12/30/2023

Register for an account. This will allow you to access our forums, gain access to remotes, join W1EE remote HF station and interact with other remote stations. I will only accept original copy of license.

A new Club feature has been established for your use and enjoyment enabling you to operate HF from your computer or cell phone. This is especially good news for those members who cannot get on HF due to antenna restrictions etc. The feature is easy to use on USB, LSB, FM, AM and CW and includes access to most HF bands.

Please NO FT-8. Won't work.Remote Hams possible future update. Running two programs at once causes error. If you have any questions send me a e-mail. Subject: Remote FT-8.

An important thank you also goes out to Murray, K3BEQ for his patience and guiding me through this project.73's.

I would also thank Terry, K1Fi for installing the antenna. New antenna Buckmaster 7-Band 300 Watt OCF Dipole Antenna. Auto Tuner will memorize SWR settings.
