Equipment in my shack (see Ham Radio Photo Gallery below): Yaesu FT-1000MP HF transceiver with linear amplifier Ameritron AL-811, for UHF/VHF - Yaesu FT-5100, FT-11R and Kenwood TS-79A(D). Antennas - vertical R5 Cushcraft (10-12-15-17-20m), homemade dipole for 10-15-20m and inverted V for 40m. I mostly work on HF using traditional SSB and CW, tried PSK31 and RTTY, but was not excited and practice digital modes very infrequently.

Also, my 2m/70cm equipment is just collecting dust on the shelf since I can't find the use of it - UHF/VHF doesn't sound like fun to me. The 8-element Yagi for 2m was up for a numbers of years, but I took it down a year ago finally since it was not in use and interfered with the tree nearby.

   As a logging software I'm using a UR5EQF_Log which I've found by incident and eventually switched to it. It is a very good free piece of software with a lot of features incorporated (can be downloaded here) and it's free, as I've mentioned above. Since I'm fluent in Russian I decided to help an author and translated the large help file to English (which was later translated to Spanish by EB2CYQ). It was a tedious job but I think it could help many hams around the globe who decided to give it a try. The only problem here is that the author is constantly improving and updating his software and this help file doesn't cover all new features appeared there. As soon as a new revision of the help file appears I'll update my translation also.

   Photography is my second hobby. I use Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 camera which has great image stabilized Leica x12 optical zoom. Detailed review can be found here.

And thanks to KA9FOX for the opportunity to have space here.
