Station Information

4:1 balun on my home brew 80 metre off-centre-fed dipole.

The antenna works well, can't quite get down to the lower end of 80 metres though.

5/4 wave 2 metre antenna inside the PVC.

Hits all the local repeaters. If you want better gain go with a copper pipe j-pole.

One of my first home-brew projects. Brass straight-key built out of scrap metal, and old piece of cherry wood and an old spring.

Still hooked up to my rig, but originally was hooked up to a home-brew 40meter qrp rig I built from plans in the ARRL Handbook.

My main rig. A Kenwood TS-2000 with the MC-60 desktop mic. I get lots of good comments about my audio quality. This is probably due to the MC-60.

That is a Kent keyer on the left.

And to the left of that is an
FT-50R 2 metre/440 dual bander.
