New ham(now general AKA Tim), got my technician license Sep. 2011but has been a long time shortwave listener since age 5.

Really enjoying this amazing hobby and willing to meet more people on the air.

My main interests in HAM Radio are VHF/UHF Weak signal and homebrew antennas also HF QRP.

I am building up my high UHF /microwave equippment little by little but it is surely a expensive hobby hi.

Rigs are Yaesu ft-736 w/ 6/2/1.25/70cm module + TE systems 1412g + 4412G.

Yaesu Ft-847.Yaesu Ft-817 for QRP operating. Not exactly a Yaesu fan I do own Icom and Kenwood hi hi

6m antenna is a homebrw moxon which I modified the original design to make it fit in tighter space in the attic.

2 meter antenna is a homebrew 5 elements 28ohm DK7ZB yagi.

For 432 i am using a pair of homebrew 10 element beams with homebrew power splitter.

222MHZ is a homebrew 6 element yagi which I built and designed from ground up.

End fed long wire w/ home brew 9:1 balun for HF QRP the antenna also works on 6m.

Wire HALO antennas for 10/6.

For FM/reapter I built the DK7ZB design dual band two element beam and an wouxun (prounced "ocean") dual band HT.

My attic anttena farm hi.

Slowly starting getting on CW. Yes 5-8 wpm copy speed. so if you hear me PSE QRS TNX

The key is a chinese military surplus straight key Model K-5 made in 1987.
