> I was looking at the problem from a different perspective perhaps. Since the WSPRlite is a low output TXer (variable over 16 dB range up to 200mW, so I think that means 5mW to 200mW) I was looking to set that at 200mW on my random dipole antenna (two random wires, one E-W and the other W-E, joined by a 4:1 balun) and try to figure what power on my nearby 43ft Vertical gave the same profile on DXplorer.net.
>
> I think comparing a dipole to a vertical might be a interesting task, as it appears one is more "efficient" at night and the other during the day. The DX10 lines seem to invert at dawn and dusk on 40m. Two completely different antennas types cannot be equivalent a priori , I suppose!

> It boils down to cost vs. benefit.  I invested in two RC-1216H units because I really wanted to stay away from using a PC in the shack.  Since the station is over 1,200 miles from where I would access it, eliminating a shack computer really can improve system reliability.  A failure in the shack due to PC problems not only raises the question of what the status of the RF equipment is, but also means it could be several months before I?m back on the property to resolve any issues.

>> Since my internet upload is about 1mb/sec at the remote base, I really limit how much I push up.  I have 1 computer that I RDP into for all my command and control.  I did do serial tunneling one year, but then it locked me into only 1 operating QTH.
