And folks will have that same challenge and fun with RHR or other remote
station provider.
Using a remote station, having the big hardware and right location in no
way guarantees an easy QSO. I consider myself a pretty good operator
using Wayne's techniques, and it still took over an hour to work K1N on
160 the first night. But the real clincher is that another nearby
operator, using an antenna with ~8 dB of gain over my shunt fed tower,
never did work them that first night.
In all of this anti-RHR discussion, you are forgetting the role of the
operator and skill.
