Hello Everyone! I have been away and off the air for a
couple of years. I have a new QTH and now God willing I will be back on
the air in a couple of weeks. My setup hasn't changed that much in the
last two years. I am now operating out of Alaska in grid BP73fx. I have
a Yaesu FT-897D with a LDG
897 Auto tuner,a LDG FT Meter, and a Heil Proset Plus headset to listen
to what's coming in and going out. My Alpha Delta DX-EE antenna is
gone. My move has afforded me a little more room than I had in
Connecticut, so I got myself a 125 foot doublet that operates in the
80-10 meter range. The feedline of this doublet is a 150 foot 600 ohm
ladderline. To assist me with tuning this antenna, I went old school
and got myself a Johnson Viking Kilowatt Matchbox #250-30. one side of
my doublet will come off of a 55 foot radio tower, the other is a 60
foot tree right next to my cabin. Don't ask how I'm going to tie it
into that tree, that far up, but if you have any ideas, email me at [email protected]. I will still be
using a Tigertronics SignaLink USB for my digital stuff until I can
afford an upgrade to West Mountainwork. I haven't moved away from Ham
Radio Deluxe(HRD), I just need to relearn everything and find all my
old logs to see where I stand and who I owe QSL cards to and such. I'm
glad I bought the 500 pack of QSL cards like I did, because people
deserve that QSL from my old callsign before I go walking off into the
sunset. If you need a QSL card from KB1SYV, let me know. I'll
eventually find you, but if you find me first, its quicker for you :)
