Doing Ham
Stuff
And
a
little SSTV
For years I was a Chicken Bander until it got so filthy
mouthed I chucked
the radios. Could not have that
stuff blaring with
kids in the
house. Became a
Ham
in 1990
and haven't looked
back
sense.
Worked
the World
on 10 meters, I
love it..
But the wife and I
got
out of Ham radio for a few years and we got back into
it
in Dec of
2004, I
shortly upgrading to General
Class
the wife KB7LQT is
still a
Tech
+.
Shack includes following equipment; 1 ghz and
500 mhz desk top
computers. The computers
have
the
following ham
programs;
Echo link, Ham
Scope, AC
Log (logging program), MMSSTV
and
many others.
Laptop
has all above and SSTV also.
Shack includes;
Alinco DR 110 and DJ 160
HT
2 meter
Radios. HF
radio is a Kenwood
TS-130S
primary
and is
also used when needed as a
mobile.
Antenna
tuner is
a MFJ-969.
As
you can see all radios
have
external
speakers.
Not seen is the Alinco HT or
misc
antenna analyzers
and
other
support
equipment. No Amp in this shack,
just
barefoot.
I enjoy making QSL Cards for myself and
others
you can check some out <HERE>
The Antenna Farm
---------------- Mobile HF setup ---------------
|---------------------- HF
setup in 1984 Nissan Extended Cab 4X4
-------------------|
I sold the TS 120S shown here to a good friend, but the TS 130S
fits just as well.
Mounted in the dash is a Alinco
DR-110 2meter radio
running to a
5/8s wave base
loaded
antenna..The HF
antenna's are 10 thru 80 meter
seperate Ham Stick antennas
each
tuned
for
the middle of the phone portion of each
band. They have to be physically
changed out on
the
mount spring
seen in the first picture. The mount
for the radio
is 3/4
plywood
glued to jump seat behind
passenger
seat.
There is a metal flange
that goes
up
and over the radio with a combination
lock that you
can see in the second
pix. Over the radio
is old
computer cabinet to
protect radio if
something is thrown
it behind the
passenger
seat.
1979 Ford 2WD setup

2 meter and a Realistic HTX-100, 10 Meter
