Advanced class got to 20 but never took extra so probably never will Various radios over the years but am not that active hunting fishing work and life have gotten in the way Last year bought a Ts480 hx Just got in a t-10 log and will install it at 100 feet this summer Over the years the friends I have made through the pursuit of ham radio have become more important than the radio |

Tech circa 1995; General circa 2002 or thereabouts.
I've operated in several different countries for extended periods, and am one of the first filthy gaijin to have been issued an actual JA callsign (as opposed to a 7J6). APRS, PSK/RTTY, and SSTV-capable. These days I rarely stray from 20 meters for an occasional contact. Am interested mainly in the emergency commo aspects of amateur radio; not much of a rag-chewer.

Got my General a couple years ago......
My station consists of : FT 840 with an LDG tuner FT2800 Ft-60 Wouxun KG-UV3D I run 2 Dipoles at about 25' , one is a radioworks double bazooka 20m and the other is the windom that AFM had up here a while back. Would love to have some different antennas, or at least get them higher.... I rent a house that has a metal roof and aluminum studs (was in style on the coast for a while I guess) and have power lines on 2 sides...... the noise I pick up on HF is crazy! |
