The Station at Home.

      The station is localized at 20˚ 01' N and 75 ˚ 49' W at 25 meter above sea level on FL20CA locator.

      Transceivers are: TS-520S  from Kenwood,  for  160,  80,  40,  20, 15 and 10 meter bands,
       on  CW  and  SSB modes, 100 watt output,  using a  dynamic desk microphone  from Kenwood model
       MC-50  and a K-4 hand CW key made in  China.

       An DR-150E   VHF/UHF  FM Transceiver from  Alinco, for 2 meter band, power output is 50 watt, and
       it can receive on 70 cm band.

      A FTL-2001 VHF FM Transceiver from Yaesu , for 144-146 mhz (80 channels) with about 40 watt output.

      Antennas: For HF bands are, a 1/4 wavelength ground-plane with 5 radials for 28 mhz, and 1/2 wave dipoles
      in inverted V form for 21 mhz and 14 mhz.

      for 144 mhz and 430 mhz bands am using a 1/2 wavelength dual band (VHF/UHF) dipole, and a standard 1/2
      over 1/4 collinear array without radials (for VHF expeditions) and a 3 element cubical quad only for 430 mhz.

      I have not a contest station, but some time I was on air from CO8HF station, using a full size G5RV (160 to
      10 meter), also from CO9NKA (club station), and at this time am in some contest from Carlos CM8CAD station,
      using a L inverted with 3 radials for 1.8 mhz, L inverted with 2 radials for 3.5 mhz, and dipoles for other bands.

      HF antennas are using different 50 ohms coaxial cable, for VHF and UHF bands are low loss coax .

      Antenna's projects: 435/145 mhz dual band collinear.

      The Ground system  at home is a pipe (7 foot lengthy and 3/4 inch of diameter) into the earth, applying
      common salt and water to the soil  around the pipe to reducing the soil electrical resistance.
