The Handiham Remote Base is a complete ham radio station that can be controlled via the Internet. The station is located near Lake George, Minnesota, at Camp Courage North, site of the Handiham Radio Camp.

Station equipment consists of a Kenwood TS-480SAT transceiver, a G5RV antenna, and LDG autotuner. The station is controlled via a Lenovo desktop computer running Windows Vista. The computer runs all the time, waiting for commands from control operators who have permission to use the station.

The Handiham Remote Base is now online for member use. 

You will need the VoIP software SKYPE to use the Handiham Remote Base (HRB). SKYPE is used to send and receive audio. SKYPE must be running on your computer before you connect to the HRB.

The current control software is W4MQ software. Proceed to the W4MQ Software page for instructions.
