My radio's HF and VHF and ants etc. |
Yaesu FT-920 This is my HF rig and a fine animal it is. Had this rig since about
july 2001 it hasnt had a great deal of use yet due to work commitments etc. I think it is an excellent piece of radio gear although a little expensive if bought new. It is in my opinion ideal for the CW operator with the built in filters DSP etc. It covers 6 mtrs to top band and has general coverage recieve and anything from about 10 to 100 watts out put with auto atu. I must say ime pleased with it so far. |
My VHF radio is an Icom 251-e Ive had this radio since 1992 when I was 1st licensed,
its been an excellent radio for me with very few problems. 10 watt out put which is quiet ample for local work, this radio is of course multi mode and ive used it to work through the RS sattelites. I wouldnt part with it..nearly did once but really glad its still here hihi. The microphone is a sadelta echo master plus from my cb days had it from new lovely mic with many good comments on my audio. |
My antennas are very basic just a 5/8 vert for 2 meters and I have a 141 feet wire
loop for HF. I also have a few beams which I take down for the winter due to the heavy weather we sometimes get here. My QTH is only about 3 miles from the sea so we get all the strong northerly winds. |
