Tony, well with all the commits about my question
about Beacons. I was part of the testing of the
"NBEMS" and the question came up about Beacons below
10m.
So with the Beacon program that comes with VBdigi, in
the message section I will input a "CQ".
Now with attended and unattended, with the internet
and a ethernet card and VNC or some other programs
that "you" or any other operator could be the control
operator, So I just call you and say can you keep
check on my station I need to be away, at that time
you would connect via the internet to my PC and be the
control operator, until I get back and take controls
back. I know this is a crude example of controling a
unattended station.
