Visit my web site http://www.biztek.com/k6acj. I am active on HF Fixed and
mobile, CW , SSB, digital modes including APRS, PSK and MFSK. Active in ARES,
Red Cross, HBRACES, QRP and HFPack with a FT817, Elecraft KX1 and K5OOR HFPack
Amp. Old man having fun again.
I call my /PM rig the Wood Box Radio, a modified CD storage cabinet from Ikea
choke full of radio accessories, FT-817, LDG QRP antenna tuner, the HFPacker 40
watt amplifier and batteries. The antenna is a Buddipole Dipole or L-Configured
mast. Our favorite frequency is 18157.5 but now we include 60 meters and the
high end of 80 meters. Four countries, Canada, Chile, Japan, and Mexico have
been worked with this rig.
The latest rig is the Elecraft KX1 which I use for local QRP contests and while
traveling in Spain. Lots of DX on both sides of the Atlantic with 4.2 watts
output and simple antennas. Very nice!!
When mobile-at-rest, I operate from a hill top over looking the Pacific Coast
shore line with a view north west to Long Beach and Los Angeles Harbors. The
mobile station is an Icom 706MKIIG, an LDG AT-11 auto tuner. The web site
describes the installation in the 1989 Volkswagen Westphalia camper van. Audio
via Heil Sound, HS706 or HM-10 Dual.
Thanks to all for the great contacts both from mobile and from home! PSE QSL !
