Zack,
Drew has a long history of innovative ways to use equipment for unusual QSOs. No doubt that is one of the reasons he is so good at keeping AO-51 ticking away.

Drew, KO4MA, gets the "widest split of the year award" for his operation on AO51 this evening - uplink from his home station in FL via remote, and downlink from N8MH's QTH in NC. I wonder if anyone else could mount their receive and transmit setups 547.17 miles apart? Or to put it in terms that you are more likely to deal with when assembling your station, 34,668,746.87 inches apart.
73!
