Biography
My name is WES.
Licensed/Extra since 2004.
Operating on an IC-7300, using an ALS-600 Amp acquired in 2013 from Sam KT4QW. (The amp was new in 1997 and still works great!) I use an N3ZN-SL paddle.
The antenna is a Hy-Gain TH7DX tri-bander, 18 meters above the ground, with 3 elements on 20 and 15 and 4 elements on 10. Also have an inverted delta loop for 40/80.
The tower is a Hy-Gain 52 self-supporting tower. The antenna and tower were both given me by Dino KL0S. Both were re-erected in 2023. They were new in 1983 and both are in excellent condition.
Using a first-generation Ham-M Rotor given me by Jack W1FDY that he first put into service in 1960! Works great!
I UPLOAD TO Ham QTH, Club Log, Eqsl and LOTW about once a month.
