This group has been set up to facilitate the discussion of computers, remote control, and other forms of automation as they apply to the construction and operation of amateur radio stations. It is not intended to replace groups devoted to particular brands of equipment, specific software packages, and the like, but to assist with more general problem-solving. For example, a question about the use of the software package DX4WIN belongs on the mailing list for that purpose (dx4win@mailman.qth.net), but a question like "how do I control a computer at a remote station site, so that I can reboot it remotely if it freezes?" would be appropriate here.

I will administer but not moderate the group (not reading and approving messages before posting, for example). If demand warrants, the group's purpose can evolve in whatever direction its members desire.

Please feel free to contact me with comments or questions.
