I have been away from amateur radio for over 20 years. I worked for the past 16 years in Australia in
Tasmania as an IT Manager for local government. I moved back home to the states December 2011 permanently.

So now I am operating from my 3rd floor apartment with the G5RV Jr inside.

I am presently employed as an IT Network Administrator for Continental Midland in Park Forest IL.

Here's the G5RV Jr with the apex about in the center of the apartment. Absolutely no TVI or interference of any kind to the TV!

This is the 2m/70cm antenna pointing out the balcony door.

This is the receive wide-band discone used for scanning. Obviously it needs a better place to live!
