My call, KD4QMY, was granted on July 7, 1992. And I've enjoyed Amateur radio ever since. Actually, I listened to shortwave / ham for many years using an old Hallicrafters S38 receiver that my father had when he was a child. The rig was noisy but I still recall hearing for the first time a BBC broadcast one late night.

A wire strung across the living room brought in stations from near and far. What a thrill that was.  

 I received a Zenith Transoceanic for a Christmas gift in 1976 and spent many hours turning the dial finding new shortwave stations. 

My passion for shortwave and amateur radio still exist today. My station now consist of a pair of Yaesu FT-897's for VHF/UHF (2m & 70cm). For HF and 6m, there are the Yaesu FT-1000 Mark V Field (20m); Yaesu FT-2000, (10m, 15m, 20m, 40m) and FT-2000D. My primary rig is the FT-2000D (w/80/40 Mu-tuner) for, 6m, 10m, 15m, 17m, 20m, 40m and 80m and a Yaesu FT-817D for fun while outdoors. Recently added a 12m dipole coupled to the FT-897D.  Speakers are Yaesu SP8 and SP2000. Microphones include a Yaesu MD100 and MD200 in addition to stock hand mikes. Antennas include resonant dipoles, a 4-band dipole, Mosley Mini-33A (10m, 15m 20m) Diamond 504HB for 6m. For shortwave monitoring I use an Icom R75 with a simple longwire. Handhelds include, Yaesu FT-530, VX5R, Kenwood TH28, Icom R3 and Realistic scanner. The Zenith Transoceanic, on the left, top shelf, still sounds great.

While mobile in a Jeep Cherokee I use a Yaesu FT-857D and the ATAS 120A for HF mounted atop an offroad roof rack and a Yaesu 8100 for VHF / UHF with a Larsen 2m/70cm mag-mount.

 

 

 

 

 

Someday I'll look for that old Hallicrafters S38 and fire it up again...

 

73 for now, KD4QMY George
