Hello and thanks for checking out my Bio...My name is Richard Lenoir..I live in the big city of Paris Tx..I am 39 years old and work in sales... I got into radio as a kid listening to shortwave..I got my ham license in the early 90's(no code tech) and then passed a 5wpm code test..I used to run alot of VHF and 10 meters...I did get out of radio for several years but in the later part of 2004 I bought a house and put up a couple of antennas and once again the Ham bug bit...I took the general test and passed in december 2004 . On June 25,2005 I passed the Extra class exam. I really enjoy hf, you can catch me on all bands from 160 meters to 70 cm...I still like to do some shortwave listening..

Right now my main hf rig is a Yaesu Ft-2000, I use a Senheiser 421 mic into a W2IHY 8 band eq and then into an EQ PLUS...For amplifiers i use a Heathkit sb-1000 (single 3-500z) and a old heathkit sb-220 (2-3-500z) I now use a tennadyne t-12 log periodic for 10-20 meter operation...I use inverted vees for the lower bands..I also have up a ground mounted Hustler 5btv vertical with about 24 burried radials, it covers 10 -80 meters....On vhf currently I use a icom v8000 with a 160 watt amplifier (if needed) , i also have dedicated fm rigs always monitoring 10 meter fm, 6 meter fm, and 440 mhz fm...In the mobile i run a Yaesu ft-857D for hf with a texas bugcatcher
