Equipment
My VHF radio equipment consists of (2)Radio Shack HTX-242 mobiles and a Comet GP-3 ground plane & a Cushcraft A14810S 10 element yagi antenna.I operate VHF most often on the W4FAR Repeater on Pore's Knob Mountain in North Wilkesboro,NC 145.370- (94.8 Hz PL Tone). My HF equipment consists of a Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark V exciter with a Ameritron AL-80B 1000 Watt HF Linear Amplifier and a Heil Proset Plus headset. I also own a Heil MM-4 Goldline Microphone. My HF antennas consist of a Solarcon A-99 vertical(Antron 99) for 10 meters and a 260 feet long modified-Zepp antenna horizontal at 50 feet high for use on 10-160 meters. It was manufactured by WZ4I Mark and is one super antenna!I also just recently purchased a Hustler 5BTV vertical antenna and 100 feet of #12 stranded copper wire to lay down 30 33 feet 4 inch radials for DXing on 10,15,20,40 and 80 meter bands.I still have to assemble and get this newest antenna up which I plan on doing over the next few months. I purchased an 8 feet copper clad ground rod for it, but still have to purchase some coaxial cable and 2 Amphenol PL-259 coaxial connectors. I also use a Palstar AT-1500CV antenna tuner.I run the TS-570D from a Icom PS-55 20 amp power supply and run the 2 meter equipment from a Pyramid 10 amp power supply.I own 6 Morse Code keys which are all pictured in my Photo Section.
