You are a busy man organising the Hidelburg radio club and now Venezuela
radio club. I have to do everything myself, design, install and climb 100 ft
masts to erect antennas. Are these installations remotely controlled by you
and your team. For awards ARRL policy is that the TX/RX must be at the home
QTH and not remote.
