SHACK
After my pension we moved to a apartment at the 7th floor about 22 meter above ground level with view on the North Sea. In our home I have a separate room with enough space for equipment, soldering and measuring.
The most used transmitters are:
- ICOM IC-7100
- ICOM IC-7600
- ICOM IC-910H
- ALBRECHT AE-485S
- ALINCO DR-605
- YAESU FT-726R
- KENWOOD (complete line) TS-900
For monitoring:
- UNIDEN UBC360CLT (aircraft)
- ICOM M25 (maritime)
As we are living in a apartment and therefore my antenna situation is limited. For the HF band I use two separate loop antennas of witch one is horizontal polarized and the other is vertical polarized. Nevertheless all continents have been worked and confirmed. For VHF/UHF I use a vertical polarized antenna.
My personal interest concerns all digi-modes, like RTTY - SSTV - FAX - PSK - JT65 et cetera, but my preference is FT4 & FT8.:
