Kenwood TS-830S w/ D-104 mic going into an MFJ 949D tuner, with balanced feed to a 102 ft doublet antenna that is up only 20ft at most. For simplicity's sake, I call it a G5RV. The antenna is neither straight nor flat.

I'm a very casual HF operator. I'll work DX when the mood strikes me, or I'll rag-chew on 17 or 75 meters. I'm not much of a CW operator, though I'd like to improve my skills.

VHF/UHF Setup:

Kenwood TM-701A dual band mobile (25w) with a TRAM dual-band collinear antenna ($35 hamfest special GP-6 knockoff) mounted on a roof vent. Also ICOM T-7H dual band HT, and Tempo S2, 220 MHz HT.

On VHF/UHF, you'll likely find me monitoring the 441.6 KE5RS repeater in Leander, or the 146.90 W3MRC repeater in Austin. I like to listen to these to keep up with my "Hambuds." I got the 220 HT for $35 on Ebay and it works well enough to hear the local Hambuds on 223.5. Occasionally I'll monitor the 224.8 repeater in Austin.

Mobile Setup:

Yaesu FT-100D with the ATAS-120 screwdriver antenna (HF-6m), and Tek America dual band antenna (VHF/UHF). Both antennas use trunk lip mounts.

Around town, I'm usually on VHF/UHF. If none of the Hambuds are on, I'll flip over to HF and see what's on. With this push-button plug-n-play setup, I can have hours of fun anywhere from 40m to 6m. The HF setup is great for my weekend trips to Lake Buchanan, the family ranch in Sonora, TX, or wherever I might wander. I have 75 meter inverted vees at both the lake and ranch, so I can keep in touch with the Hambuds.

Digital Setup:

Digipan interface (thanks Danny!) to the FT-100D (yes, I have to drag it out of the car) using a Toshiba Laptop with a Pentium 450MHz processor and Windows 98.

If I ever get a digital camera, I'll include pictures....
