Biography
40yo amateur licensed in 2015.
Running a Kenwood TS-590S on HF+6m. Modified G5RV (ZS6BKW). DIY moxon on 6m.
On VHF/UHF I run a Yaesu FT-857D and a 15el on 2m. The 70cm & 23cm antennas are not on the air atm.
Recently started working satellites, computer controlled (gpredict) FT-847 and Alt/Az antenna. 5el X-yagi on 2m and 150cm RHCP helix om 70cm, both with mast preamplifiers.
QRV on all FM and linear sats that I can reach, no digital yet.
I can be reached on twitter for skeds etc @knglaser
Also experimenting a lot with SDR, including: Red pitaya, funcube dongle, rtl-sdr, hackrf.
Sometimes running a QRP-labs U3s running WSPR at 80+40+20+15+10+6m at 0.2-2W approx into a Diamond CP-6.
QSL POLICY: I confirm every QSO via eQSL.cc and LotW. I will happily respond (but slowly) to QSLs sent direct to the address above or via bureau. I do not send QSL for every QSO because this results in sending many cards to HAMs who really do not need them.
Trying to spot on digital modes when I have the computer and rig/sdr running.
Worked DXCCs:
