    I was researching online HF radio stations that are accessible to listen to via internet while I am doing my work, wherever that may be.

    I found a great program for the youth in the process! Free remote hf radio stations are available to those that qualify.

    There is also a paid program for those of us not in the youth category.

    Here is more information on this:

    Yes, RHR has done a great job extending a open hand to Youth

    They can afford it, renting time is not for the faint of heart it adds up quickly I have heard.

    I have meet many of the RHR Youth participants
    in my travels, and we should all be thankful for these youngsters.

    The Cowtown ARC has built their Club Station modeled after what RHR does
    However, versus renting, paid members are on an access list to use the club station, yes even remotely.
    Which more than a few of their members do.

    Two Rigs one is a Yaesu FDX5000
    The other a FlexRadio 6700
    Remote control of Antenna switches as well as beam heading of antennas (Rotor Control)

    I have seen it operate on both ends at the club house and at dinner via a laptop after the club meeting

    The heart of it is a Raspberry Pi !!!
    No more complex than many repeater sites

    Cheers!

    I have used and had radios on the RemoteHams system before, it worked good for me.
