Equipment

Main station HF consists of an IC-7300 and IC-706MkIIg, SGC auto coupler. I currently have 2 HF antennas, Former G5RV now a custom doublet fed with 450 Ohm Ladder line, and a 120 foot vertical wire, both with an SGC 239 Auto Tuner at the base. Currently running a Signalink USB for digital modes, Bencher BY1(Still working to get better).

For 2Meter SSB and Meteor Scatter I use the IC-706 and an 6 element K1FO yagi at 35 feet, Running a TPL amp at 200w, you can catch me on the air from FM17pc, or on Ping Jokey. You can see some pictures of my Portable Operations on my VHF Page.

For 6m I have a Par Electronics Stressed Moxonat 30 feet. I use my IC-7300 for 6m with 100w.

My Communications box contains my main 2m/70CM  FM rigs. I'm currently using Kenwood TK-790 and TK-890 Land Mobile radios. Using a Jetstream Dual Band Vertical for FM work.

 

Here is a picture of my VHF antenna's.
