K6TPL TODAY

 

   The Station today is Located on top a hill above the Columbia River and across from the Portland Airport. A great location for VHF and a good location for 160 and 80 meters as well. I have recently added a SB-220 Amplifier that is not installed because I have to figure out how to get 220 Volts into the Radio Room. Things like this can stop me for years! But I am very hopeful. Even Optimistic that it will be working one of these days.

   The Antenna's are a Mosley TA-33 JR with the addition for 17 and 12 meters, This sits on top a 40 Foot Rohn tower. I could not rest until that tower was up! Had to have a Thrust bearing and a Ham M rotator to move it. If anything would stick there a chance that the entire house would rotate! On 75 I use a Loop that is up about 60 feet. And for 160 the worlds lowest Dipole, Some work is needed for that Band. And is my Project this summer.
