KICKER:  REMOTE POSSIBILITIES BRING THEM CLOSER TOGETHER

SKEETER/ANCHOR: Finally, when we talk about being "remote," we're 
usually referring to people who are distant from one another. Here's how 
one unique amateur radio project -- a new remote operation with its QTH 
in Canada -- has redefined the meaning of that word, bringing people 
together from all over. Ralph Squillace, KK6ITB, tells us what has made 
it so successful.

RALPH: The heart and soul of the remote HF station operated by the 
Inverhuron Ham Radio Club, VE3IHR, is the Kenwood TS850 that Rob Noakes 
VE3PCP inherited when his father became a Silent Key. Controlled by 
RemoteHams software and connected to a seven-band ground-mounted 
vertical antenna, what was once the pride and joy of his dad's shack has 
become a valued key that has begun to unlock access to HF for amateurs 
worldwide: Some are living where an HF station does not exist or is not 
possible; others are away from home for extended periods. Add to those 
groups an international collective of YLs, including Maria, R3TM; Biggi, 
DK3YB; Marija, YU3AWA; and Raisa, R1BIG, who worked one-on-one with Rob 
to help coordinate operations for YLs and youngsters into this new 
remote project. On Sunday, April 17th - a day before World Amateur Radio 
Day - the YLs and youngsters got on the air using the remote stations's 
new callsign VA3YLR. Rob told Newsline there are now seven YLs from five 
countries and four young hams from two countries all operating remotely 
through the station. Rob told Newsline that [quote]: "ham radio should 
be kept as an open line of communications regardless of what may be 
happening and we fully support that notion." [endquote] As the community 
of users continues to grow, what seemed so remote is now well within the
reach of many.

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Ralph Squillace, KK6ITB.
