Click for more detail... Hello, my name is Bobby Hobby and I have been a ham for about 32 years and I hold an Extra Class amateur license. My original call was KA4DPF until a recent change to W4KN. I work most bands and modes. My station consist of two Kenwood TS-2000 radios with a 8 element Cushcraft ASL2010 log periodic beam at about 60 feet, a 5 element Cushcraft A505S 6 meter beam at about 65 feet, a Cushcraft 13B2 VHF beam at about 70 feet, and a Hustler G7 VHF vertical omni at 75'. These antenna's are on a U.S. Tower TX455 crank up/tilt over with a Yaesu G-800 DXA rotor just outside the shack. I have a full size 160-10 meter Carolina Windom on another structure at about 55 feet for the lower bands. The station is completely computer controlled with the exception of of the Ameritron ALS-600 amp which I have to change the band switch. I got the TS-2000 because of its computer and remote control capabilities and started to learn about networking to help a fellow disabled ham friend of 32 years (WD4LYV) ( http://www.wayneharrell.com ). Our stations are tied through VPN networking so we both have control or aid in control or either station. Look him up on QRZ to see more about him. I am a charter member and currently the President of our local radio club, W4PVW,( http://www.w4pvw.us ) Coastal Plains Amateur Radio Club (CPARC) located in Tifton, GA. We are a small club but about half of our membership are very active hams enjoying most of the modes that are popular today. We operate a VHF repeater on 147.285 (+600) located just west of I-75 about 8 miles north of Tifton. It is interlinked via the Tall Pines Intertie with several other repeaters in about a 60 mile radius. Last modified: Thu Jun 18 14:34:11 2009 Does this page contain inappropriate content?
