In my opinion VOIP and amateur radio shouldn't be mentioned in the same
post.

VOIP is a simple process of sending priority voice packets over the
internet, almost the same as just as any data packet is sent. It has
nothing to do with ham radio unless you want to use it for a patch.

Back in the sixties, CQ ran an article about DX'ing by telephone,
actually I think there was a followup, including a photo of a DXpedition
using a remote phone. I can't remember if it was explaining the joys
of this, or a warning that it was a conspiracy from the telephone company.

Of course, the article or articles ran in an April issue, and of course
it was an April Fool's Day article.
