floor. He was my guide at the station during my visit in February, 2002.
Pictured on the right is me at the main
operating position. A Kenwood TS850-S is used for HF. There are assorted VHF/UHF radios
for 2m & 70cm operation. Phone, CW, and SSTV are the main modes.
The antenna farm is located
on the hotel roof. In this view from the ground, you see the 3-element HF yagi (up 30
meters), and the UHF & VHF antennas. Not visible is the Butternut vertical (up
10 meters). The dishes provide satellite TV (for the hotel guests).
