[HCDX] Remote antenna - is it feasible?

[<simonluttrell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm envious of some of the great DX heard by Martin from Clashmore with his Beverage antennas.  At my Phuket QTH, I don't have room to erect a Beverage.  But there are miles of sandy beaches just 1 few hundred metres away where I could erect temporary antenna.  However, it is not really practical for me to sit on the beach all night!
   
  What would be ideal is to erect a temporary antenna and connect this to a battery-powered pre-amplifier which would also include a wideband transmitter (low power, microwave), At my QTH I would employ a receiver unit to receive and downconvert the transmitted frequencies to their original frequency, (ie the medium wave band).
   
  I have heard of some success using wifi USB adaptors to transmit signals over several miles.  But I am really looking for something much more simple that will enable such a 'remote' antenna to be realised.
   
  Any thoughts and comments?  Is it feasible??
