“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill,
that we shall pay any price, bear any burden,
meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe,
to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

My Fixed Radio Station:
Icom IC-7000 transceiver
Ameritron ALS-500M Solid State Amp.
Hi-Q 4/80 RT Mobile Antenna mounted on RV ladder.
G5RV dipole.
Hustler 4BTV.

Computer: HP 516 Celeron @ 1.8 Ghz w/512 MB Ram
I use a sound card for PSK31, RTTY, etc. Works great as a DVK machine, too. I use WriteLog in contests and the Windows audio recording works FB, if you need a digital voice keyer.
I use the West Mountain Radio Nomic sound card to radio interface.
For FSK, I use the great MMTTY program. I transmit and receive in true FSK mode. CU in the next RTTY contest.
