Boyd Sigler, AE4LV, at his station:
At the left is Boyd, AE4LV, at his rig in the high rise
in Louisville. As you can see from his story, Boyd has overcome a
lot of injuries and
d
adversity to be where he is today. The story
of how he got his antenna up is something in itself.
"Rig is an Icom730 thru an MFJ tuner
to a Marconi antenna. Also have a Radio Shack DSP that doesn't work
very well.
Luckily, I have a Built in filter in my ear.
Due to my age I filter high frequency sounds. Also have an MFJ artificial
ground to Tune the counterpoise, which is an "invisible" wire strung around
the baseboard-My daughter calls it the astroturf. I also have a packet
station. Use an old J38 straight key. Have an iambic paddle
that I haven't sprung on you yet - Having trouble with my 9's and v's and
BOB comes out 6o6! One of the biggest thrills I ever had in
ham radio was working my
son off the coast of Portugal while he was on a cruise-He is now WL7IW."
