Passed my UK Foundation licence on 15th November 2006 and the
hardware as of 26th June 2009 comprises of:-

• Icom-756 Pro III
• SM-20 Microphone
• Icom 2820 D-Star
  
• Icom E92D D-Star + GPS mike + Headset
• Signalink USB
• Diamond V2000 tri-band vertical for VHF/UHF/6Mtr's
  
• SGC230 Smart tuner
• Power Master by Array Solutions.

I documented my Tennamast installation with some decent images for those who are thinking of getting one click here

I've since sold this item along with the mini beam and rotator.

I discovered digital modes in Oct 2007 and most of my contacts are via this mode.

I also like D-Star and could not make my mind up as to what radio to go mobile with so decided on the 2820 though in my 10 minute drive back and forth to work it does not get much use hi hi

I use HRD for logging my contacts, a great utility I use is Ham Radio Deluxe Utilities by WD5EAE which automates things like exporting my logbook to the web, logging into eQSL to download cards, auto uploading to LoTW which once setup is easy to use by a few clicks of the mouse.... highly recommended.

I'm a Member of: The RSGB, eQSL (AG), LoTW and The European PSK Club EPC #2475 Country code EN24

My QSL info (please read)

I QSL 100%.
I upload at least once a month to eQSL and LoTW.

If you want a paper card the fastest way is direct, I always return cards 100%, you will have to e-mail me for my full postal details.

I DO NOT ask for greenback's, money coupons, return postage, pre-addressed envelope's or any other form of return postage, you post a card to me direct at your expense and I will post a card back at my expense... simple!

Look forward to a qso.... 73's de Steve

ps can't wait till I can get my wire back up so I can use my hf again hopefully soon once the building work is finished....
