Any Remote Ham Users Out there

[Kevin G]

        Hi all since this is my first post here a bit of background. I’m Kevin and live in Milford, CT. Call sign is N1NGV. I’ve been licensed since 1992 but only very recently have been bitten by the HF bug so I’m now an Extra Class licensee. My problem at the QTH is no space for any kind of a decent antenna system, I’m currently considering the Step IR vertical as it seems to meet my needs and has pretty good reviews from it’s users.

        Then, I came across this website http://www.remotehamradio.com and thought WOW! It’s fairly expensive but the equipment list is astounding. The stations all use the K3 so that really sealed the deal for me as I’ve already decided to purchase one anyway. I’m wondering if anyone on list has any experience with this company?

        Thanks!!  73 de N1NGV

How does one sign their station when using RemoteHamRadio services?  If I visit a friend and use his station, I would sign with his call.  If I have my own personal remote station out on a farm then I sign with my call.  But, a shared station -- which way applies?

I think I am a little ignorant of the rules in this particular example.

The Boulder Amateur Radio Club has a club remote radio. Each user, who
must be a HAM with HF privileges, uses the remote station with their own
call sign. The station is remote and unattended and so the user is the
control operator.
