My setup is fairly bare at the moment, comprising of a Yaesu FT-840 and a vertical for 10 meters which sits roughly 25 feet in the air. I have also just put up a fairly basic end-fed wire 20 meters long and about 5 meters high, which was a quick and cheap attempt at puting up a wire antenna :) You will find me active mainly on 10, 15 and 40 meters.

I am now also also active on 2 meters as I have just purchased a cheap HT from ebay. It is a Puxing PX-777, and I love it! Does a great job for a cheap chinese HT. I often monitor the Crafers repeater on 147.000 or you might also find me on the VK5FM-L echolink link on 145.525 simplex (Node no. 133196).

I have had a huge interest in CB and Amateur Radio since the early 90's, and have also have a Uniden PRO 810E for 27Mhz, but that will not be getting too much use anymore since I am now an amateur operator.

If you hear me about the place, let me know, and if I make a mistake here or there, please forgive me while I get settled in.

My Echo Link node number is 332390. Look forward to having a QSO with you.

*******I QSL 100% direct and look forward to receiving your QSL Card.**********
