I am runing a yeasu 450d with a doublet antenna about 50ft high and operate mostly qrp on most all the bands also get to llike 6 meters and starting to get in to making my own antennas just to try them like a two meter dipole a two meter l just to see if i can.. i now have a six meter station with a vertical antenna and is about 15 feet off the ground and have made some contacts already..am currently working on building my station up even more..i also worked my frist contest on 10 meters for the year of 2011 and got frist award frist place in the state of hawaii low power phone.

well since the last time i have made a ten meter L antenna for a 10 meter repeater i made the frist in hawaii that i know of... only 10 watts on 29.630 down 100 no tone fm... take a while to fine tune it and its a learning process for me first time trying to tackle somthing this big..also very big thanks to a good friend bob!! with out his suport it may not have come around.. As of January the ten meter repeater was shut down do to lack of interest.how ever I have gotten into making magnetic loop antennas. Just this past week I made some new contacts on six meters all in the land down under!!
