W1DYJ's Massachusetts Station

I purchased a home in Woburn, MA, in 1996 and started building a station.

Starting with a TS-430S, FT-736R and some dipoles and J-poles, I replaced the above with a Kenwood TS-2000 in February 2001.

I added a TS-590SG in February 2020 for HF, continuing to use the TS-2000 for 2M & 70 cm and VHF/UHF FM.

Current Antennas:

160m, 80m, 75m, 40m, 30m A shortened K2KQ Double-L. Vertical portion ~ 25'.
Leg 1 (driven) = 160/40 [Hi Power 2B4016S]
Leg 2 (Coupled Resonant to Leg 1) = 30m
Leg 3 = 80m
Leg 4 (Coupled Resonant to Leg 3) = 75m
