About the W4MQ remote system (Stan's remote base)

Please do NOT ask me any questions about Stan's (W4MQ) remote system. I do NOT take care of it so if you need a password or want to inquire as to the status of the remote you'll need to contact Stan directly at W4MQ (at) arrl.net to find out. I just took over the software from Stan NOT the operation of his remote system. He still owns the hardware and that makes him responsible for it.

INSTALLING IRBHost by W4MQ on an HP compaq for CARA IRB VE6AO 1

Hi de Rob in Calgary VE6CCL

Have installed and re installed the software a few times so thought I would document the journey in a blog.

I have not bloged (or is it blogged?) before and I am not a great speller, so bear with me as we go along.

This install started with a "clean" XP computer that I am trying to rescue. It was originally chosen for a portable IRB because it was a low profile desktop and could handle two extra parallel port cards. It is a republished CPU, cheap and had preloaded XP so it should have been perfect for our application. It has now developed a reputation and has a history of crashing and was replaced with a refurbished IBM Desktop with only space for one extra parallel port.  read more »
