My main radio is a Flexradio 5000 software defined radio. I use it in conjunction with either an Ameritron Al-1200 or Acom 1500 linear amplifier. I have a SteppIR 3 ele beamfor the HF bands, a delta loop for lowbands and Innov 6 ele LFA2 6m beam. I have fitted the QSK option to the AL-1200 for silent QSK operation. I also have a Yaesu FT-920 as a back up radio.
I use the DXLab suite of software written by Dave Bernstein AA6YQ almost exclusively. My typical operating view using dual monitors is as follows:
A view of the SteppIR beam at sunset. The tower is an old Strumech crank-up tilt-over lighting tower. The rotator is a Prosistel fully computer controlled through the DXView software
A closer view of the antenna now with the Innov 6ele LFA2 beam for 6m. This is fitted with an SSB Electronics SB-6 Masthead preamplifier.
My station is located in Juffair, a suburb of Manama, the capital of Bahrain. My QRA locator is LL56hf.
Only just inside the locator square!
