Biography
I've been licensed since 07-12-1994 and enjoy what we do every day.
The rig I first had was a Radio Shack htx 202 for VHF then bought a RCI 2950 10 meter rig a month later to get a taste of HF.
I then bought a Swan 700cx HF 5 band rig and loved that rig every minute of every day I turned it on.
I wanted so bad to (as every one else can relate.) be on as many bands as possible bought a Yaesu FT707 for the WARC bands then a Kenwood TS-690s with the 6m band.
I really loved that TS-690s with the 6m...
I sold all I had to buy the Kenwood TS-2000 with power supply as it has 9 bands and VHF/UHF in 2005.I have finally upgraded with a TS-890S 2024 and after 29yrs a Ham I have full legal limit with the ALS 1306 Amp.
I am running a TS-2000 as my VHF-UHF Station and running a TS-890S as my HF station to a Butternut HF9V ground mounted with 33 radials of various lengths on 6m 10m 15m 20m-30m-40m-80m for now.
I run 45 watts out on JT65A, FT8 and other digital modes. I run the full 100 watts out while on SSB phone and CW. I also run an ALS 1306 up to 1KW on phone as needed for DX or other contacts. Feel free to send a QSL Card Via direct SASE or Via Bureau please. I'll respond.
I'm also good on:
LoTW, QRZ, eQSL and QRZCQ.
Hope to work you soon :)
