Online Remote Bases
Recent internet technologies have allowed ham radio operators to setup remote bases on the internet. Many people have setup similar remotes such as echolink or irlp. Now you can fully control radios and transmit on them using multiple software packages. You may find more information and a list of online radio bases at http://www.remotehams.com/online.html

Telecommand is defined by the FCC as a one-way transmission to initiate, modify or terminate functions of a device at a distance [97.3(a)(43)]. If you are using a radio or wire line link to remotely control a station, this is "telecommand."

Control (or telecommand) links may be wire (a telephone, fiber optic line, Internet, etc.) or radio. The FCC says that if a radio link is used, the station where the control commands are performed is an auxiliary station [97.213(a)] and an auxiliary station is "an amateur station transmitting communications point-to-point within a system of cooperating amateur stations" [97.3(a)(7)]. All auxiliary operations must be conducted on appropriate frequencies above 222.15 MHz.

Enjoy listening to Aircraft, Boats, Ham Radio, Shortwave & rare DX you may never hear have a chance to hear from your own home without a radio!. Test your own signal propagation, are you being heard is DX locations? This is all possible with online remote base technology.
