Greetings, and thanks for finding me out here on QRZ.  I'm considered a new HAM (noob).   I have only been licensed since Oct 2014 and re-licensed in Jan 2015 with an upgarde to General.   Currently I am running a Flexradio 6500 and a KPA-500 amp with the matching KAT-500 Tunner alongside a Yaesu FT-991 barefoot.   My main antenna is a Buxcomm windom on the HF side that is about 40 feet in the air in a slight inverted V.   I also have a simple hand-made dipole for 10M but the windom tunes up just fine so I am usually using that for 10M work.  You can also find me out on JT65/FT8 and other digital modes in just about any band 6-80.

On the 2M/440 side (Yaesu FT-991 and/or Yaesu 400DR for Wires-X) along side a Icom 5100A for D-Star

For antennas I  have a Diamond X50 on an eave-mount about 3.5 stories up and am Arrow J-Pole about 2 stories up.  I have also added a Diamond X30 for digital work.

You can also look for me on Wires-X ID: 11391- my node is RF link to the W5FC 442.425 repeater in Dallas TX.

I also have a DMR/CSS ID: 3148283 and you may be able to find me over on the xreflector
