I often use my home station remotely from my cottage or club or upstairs at home.

Remote use: Ubuntu 24.04.03 LTS, Remmina remote access software, works well...
Remote VPN software: Tailscale

Cottage antennas: Cushcraft R7000, (Coil connections repaired properly),
Dipole 3,5 MHz

At the cottage I use a local 7-30 MHz R7000 antenna and on a computer over the internet remote station from my home desk with digimoids at the same time.

Sometimes I have a perfect day off: I go upstairs, put a big TV on as a screen and remotely access the downstairs station via the internal network. It's nice to work from a soft lazy castle on digital modems, even all day long, without any rush.
