Hello my name is Jeff Baker. I have been involved in ham radio for a little over a year and currently hold an Extra class operator's license. My Qth (ham lingo for where I live) is Powell, TN. It is a small community just North of Knoxville, Tennessee.
I am currently active on all hf bands (except 160 m) but I tend to favor the higher bands. I really like the 10 meter band when it is open. I am also active on 6 meter (ssb and cw and some fm) and do some fm satellite work mainly AO-27, UO-14 and SO-35. Recently I have been working some of the digital modes. I bought a refurbished laptop and a rigblaster. I have been very active on PSK-31and SSTV and have worked a little Mfsk 16. My shack consists of a Yaesu ft-920 with a MFJ auto-tuner extender. My antenna is an 80 meter dipole, fed with ladder line into a 4:1 balun. It is hung as an inverted v due to space constraints and is up about 50 ft or so. I also have a 3 element 10 meter beam up about 30 ft. I just recently bought a used 6 meter beam (4 element) and am making some repairs on it and hope to get it up soon. For working the FM satellites I use a yaesu ft-50r for the downlink and use my mobile rig a yaesu ft-90 for the uplink. I use an Arrow II antenna. It works really well on the birds. The latest addition to my shack is a IBM thinkpad 166 mhz pentium and a rigblaster.
I am a member of the Radio Amateur Club of Knoxville (RACK), the East Tennessee DX Association, ARRL, and ARES. I am currently the web master for the East Tennessee DX Association and I hope you will also visit their web site when you are done here. I am also a Fists member. Fists is a great group and I took advantage of the fists buddy program to increase my code speed. ( Thanks to Maggie WP2T).
My address in the call books are good and if you work me feel free to drop me an email and say hello. Check out some of my links on the link page the ETDXA web site has a ton of info on it and if you have an questions about the site or ham radio drop me a line.
