Hello I am W4PRE my first call, in 1977, was WD4KTG thank you for looking me up in QRZ. I live in Ooltewah, TN just outside of Chattanooga, TN. My interests include homebrew antenna building, homebrew HF amps, working local VHF and UHF stations. I am a manufacturing engineer in the metalworking industry and have been using CAD, CNC Prgrams, and PLC since the late 70's. I enjoy working Field Day, the November Sweepstakes contests, and rag chew. Currently I am in the process of putting up a new fold over tower witha home brew 6 band 2 element boomless quad HFbeam. As a second 40 foot tower for VHF and UHFoperation is now up .The VHF bean is a 11 element yagi for 2 meters, and a home brew 8 element 440 Mhz quad. I run a fan dipolesfor 160 thru 30 meters wire antennas.The current station is a Yaesu FT-950 on HF and Kenwood TS-733 on VHF/UHF. I could be running a Kenwood TL-922A, a converted Dentron MLA2500B with a single 3CX800a7 or only the rig with 100 watts. I use a Dentron MT3000A as my HF tuner if needed or the internal tuner in the FT-950. .My e-mail address is philgt72@hotmail.com for general communications
