A lot of time I will get the message that you need to ask for permission to transmit. I have received two responses for permission to transmit, but it seems like many owners don't answer emails or maybe don't want any more remote users. Am I doing something wrong by asking permission?
I use Remote Hams at times as well, and wondered the same when I first joined. I found success in contacting the remote owner direct through their email contact on their QRZ page, and asking there. Hope this simple hint helps. Keep in mind that some remotes can be pretty busy with other operators at times
Y'all should try Remote Ham radio yes it maybe .10 - 2bucks per minute at a stations but the network has plenty of stations you can use.
