Jim's Ham Radio Interests:

DX (Long distance High Frequency Communication/Competition)

Talking with his friends on VHF FM while traveling to and from to work.

Radios

W6UJX base station in Littlerock, CA

Jim's station is a mix of new and old. Some of the equipment in his shack has been there for over 30 years, other components are fairly new. He is able to operate on voice, Morse code, radioteletype, and packet. Jim has a 220 MHz repeater at his home location which will (hopefully) soon be back on the air.

One of Jim's favorite activities is listening to high speed CW (Morse code).

Antennas (hey, what's it all about anyway)

All hams like to show off their antennas. Jim has not operated with any big antennas for years. With the help of friends, Jim now has a 40 meter beam atop a 54 foot motorized tower located at the rear of the property. A M-squared KT-36XA triband beam is on order and should be up on the tower this summer.

Mobile

Jim operates on VHF FM and HF while traveling back and forth to Northrop Grumman in Woodland Hills. Every weekday morning Jim travels "down the hill" to the San Fernando Valley in his Honda Civic. He can often be found on the "Hauser" repeater on 146.730 MHz (VHF).

The Farm

We have an old house (originally built in 1957), a two-horse barn, an "RV" grarage, and cross-fenced corrals extending far back from the house to a creek at the rear of the property.
