My station consists of the Elecraft K Line -- two K3 transceivers, two P3 Panadaptors and a KPA500 amplifier. I also have an Alpha 9500 amplifier. Antennas include a 3 element Steppir on a 55 foot crank-up tower, verticals for 80M, 40M and 30M and an Inverted L for 160M. I use DX4WIN and N1MM Logger Plus for logging, and an MDS RC-1 for automated rotor control. For SO2R operation and remote antenna switching, I use a Top Ten Devices two radio controller, band decoder and A/B Station Selector.
