I have been an operator since 1993 and currently hold a General Class license. I like to get on HF mainly 40 and 75 when time permits. I do get on the local repeaters 2 meters and 440. When not hamming I work for VSS Catholic Communications Inc. as Chief Engineer taking care of a group of radio stations across Nebraska.    UTC TIME       SOLAR CONDITIONS

Currently I use a loop 200' in length 15' above the ground. 80 meters thru 10 meters work well using an MFJ 993B auto tuner on the loop. I also have a dipole cut for 40 meters using an MFJ 941 tuner. A dipole is also in use for 6 meters with future plans to build a 6 meter square loop. For 2 meters and 440 j-poles are in use at about 20' above the ground. Recently added a 6 meter squalo antenna and a vertical for 10 meters.
