HAM RADIO EQUIPMENT

My Hamshack is a modest one. FT-5100 dualband Yaesu rig on two meters and 440 mhz. The antenna for this rig is a dualbander vertical at 40 feet. TS-430S runs 100 watts output on HF bands. Antenna is a tri-band Mosely beam that has a 12/17 meter loaded dipole interlaced on the same boom. A phasing harness between the two driven elements, allows me to use one feedline. Antenna is mounted on a 36 foot Triex tower. During tower installation, I took some pictures of the tower base hole, and tower base cage in hole. Also a picture of the base hole after concrete was poured. The tower was laid near the completed base. A gin pole to tilt tower over for maintenance. Here is a picture of the tower erected. Also have a 80/40 meter quarter wave vertical, gound mounted. Plus a 40 meter dipole which is at 36 feet high in the center and 20 feet on the ends. I use this for 30 meters, via the antenna tuner. The legs of the dipole are bent at about 100 degrees to squeeze it onto my lot.
