First licensed as WN4HUS in 1967, spent many an afternoon on 15m CW rather than doing my homework.Got my Advanced ticket in '68 (never held a General ticket), and upgraded to Extra as soon as the law allowed in 1970. Became N4QM in 1976. Recently became an ARRL Life Member. 10-10 #1285 Possum Trot #3441 Here are some images of the N4QM QTH: Google maps aerial photo:
The boundary between FM06ng and FM06nh literally bisects my antenna farm. Here's the view of the farm across the street from my front porch:
My 80m vertical:
The feed point of my 160m OCF, 50 feet up:
The feed point of my 80m loop:
My mobile antenna installation. The horizontal "element" is a capacity piece I add in to move the resonant point from 3895 KHz to 3675 KHz:
I just upgraded the shack radio to a new TS-590S Kenwood, and so far I am very pleased. The noise blanker is very effective against the power line noise I get on 160m and 75m from the power lines which are a scant 600 feet west of my QTH. Also have an Ameritron AL-80B, and a Yaesu FT-450 in the truck. Have been working some 10m DX mobile now that the band is open again.
73, and good DX!
