About Me:

I was licensed in 1975 and I operate on a variety of bands and modes but mainly CW at the moment.

The home QTH is in a residential area with lots of noise from Switched Mode Power Supplies, PLT and Plasma TVs. That's all part of the challenge. I tend to use a 400 Hz filter on CW so it helps if you net accurately.

Equipment:

Elecraft K3, KPA500 Amp, KAT500 ATU, Microham MicroKeyer II (QRO)
Elecraft KX3, WinKeyer II (QRP)

Antennas:

6m 3 element Yagi at 30 feet
10/12/15/17/20m G3TPW CobWebb at 30 feet
10m Moxon at 10 feet
30m Dipole
40/80/160m Butternut HF2V with 160m kit, top loading and 70 short radials
