Right now I am running a Yaesu FT-897D with C.A.T. control for my HF station. My antennas consist of a homebrew random wire vertical that covers 6, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40m and a 10 - 80 home-brew G5RV at 40' off the ground.

I am particularly interested in digital modes and use a West Mountain Rig Blaster Plus as an interface and HRD +DM780 with C.A.T. interface for digital modes, rig control and logging. I enjoy working DX and running PSK 31 as well as other digital modes. I also enjoy running contests. As a contest logging software I use N1MM Logger with C.A.T. interface.

I do QSL 100%, no SASE needed, send me a card and I will send one back. If you are a DX Station I would appreciate an SASE although I will return without one. I also use eQSL.cc although I prefer direct. Love getting cards in the mail! If you send me a card and you do not recieve one back, please feel free to shoot me an email and let me know. Chances are it is burried on my desk!
