hny to everybody on the reflector !
today we saw real good condx to the western US here from central EU. But
i guess the word did not spread fast enough. I sure was missing all the
" clear channel stations" from the coast.
VE6SV had a blasting signal here way into daylight. My guess is, that

what is supposed to be a contest in Low band weak signal copying.

Not sure I follow your logic. Maybe I didn't make it clear in the
original post that I am operating in this contest, so the radios aren't
just going to be sitting idle providing people with "remote reception".

The stream is what I am hearing in my headphones. What comes over the
run radio is useless to anyone unless they barge in on the frequency.
What is heard on the S/P radio also
Since there seems to be too much concern over this, though no ill intent
was intended, audio will not be broadcast.

Perhaps a different approach is to make it available to people who are
interested in hearing it. There are probably some people who are not able
to operate the contest and would appreciate the opportunity to hear what it

Streaming audio live during the contest doesn't seem particularly useful to me.
But recordings made available post-contest over the web, those might be
interesting to others. I'm going to see if I can set that up at my (much more
modest) shack. I would love to hear what my signal sounds like on
I wont be QRV for the contest, however, if this is a usable stream for me,
I will be tuned in as time allows, I think this is a really neet idea, to
be able to hear TB from another location, and compare my CW skills with
that of the person operating. Thanks for putting this stream up!

As I told directly to Eric, will be good to have it and be able to listen
the contest for us that will not be able to participate.
Certainly pile ups will sound different than from deep SA :-)

Hi Steve,
I'm afraid that if remote receivers were not allowed, I would not be
taking part. That is the only way that I can do ham radio nowadays, due
to planning restrictions. I can assure you that, although the
technologies are different from those used in the old days, getting a

Take a look at radiomarine.org to see how remote receivers were implemented
commercially more than 40 years ago. It's easier now, but remote receiving

I can see the cause for concern, however it can be solved easily. Use the
side tone out of a keyer instead of the build in side tone from the radio,
thus eliminating what he is actually sending over the live stream. Worth
the extra effort, well only Eric can make that call. I for one would have

Yes, you certainly have. NO3M has built a spectacularly nice station,
