My Dx Station

Currently my main station is a FT1000MP MarkV and an Alpha 91B amplifier. I use an IC-756 PROIII on 6Meters and on digital modes. On six I have, but rarely use, a converted SB200 amplifier which delivers about 700W

My QRP Station

I use a Chinese transceiver - HB-1A - on 20/30/40m. Power output is 4W. It has a very comfortable reception. CW filters up to 400Hz. Internal CW keyer and CQ memory. I enjoy casual QRP qsos or QRP entry in local contests.

My Antennas

I live in a crowed town and have space limitations. Antenna system is always a big compromise and requires criativity. Here is how I get by :

Main tower - 6m : 7ele M2 yagi 10,12,15,17 and 20m: 3ele SteppIR 40m: 2ele 40-2CD 30m: 4SQ diamond style 80m: folded dipole 160m: quarter wave sloper

Roof tower #1 : one wavelength spaced 7 over 7 ele 6m yagis. In the middle of the 6meters beams I have built a single loop RX Flag antenna for 160/80/30m. Check details here

I have done an upgrade to the RX Flag antenna. Check here

Roof tower #2 : Currently no antenna on it

My Boatanchor station and equipment
