Why use a remote station?
A location with good reception is essential for an ambitious SWL or DXer to successfully enjoy his hobby. Unfortunately it gets more and more difficult to achive this from your home.
On the one hand there is considerable interference by other electronic devices on the other hand the implementation of efficient antennae is difficult to impossible due to rejection by neighbours or legal building regulations.
Living in an urban environment with good infrastructure very often conflicts with good reception.
So the desire for a location without any restrictions grows. The right place should be far away from residential or industrial areas, maybe on a hill and not too conveniently reached as regards transport facilities. This is where a remote station becomes relevant.
We, OE2CRM and OE2KHM, have decided to build such a remote station. In case this subject is interesting to other SWL or DXers we want to document the process (mainly in pictures).
Hello over the border!…
your new link is extremely interesting, and I’m envious of your remote location. I’m most keen to see further pictures of your antenna set-up. Wish I could do (and afford) the same…
Wishing you continued fun with your phantastic project!
