Biography

My name is Brian and I was born in Illinois in 1968. In 1976 we moved to Fairfield, Connecticut. In late 2010 I moved to Hays, NC where I now reside.
I am a computer person by trade, a "techie" so to speak and I have always been fascinated by radio. I worked for a while in the early 1990's at a commercial radio station, but it just didn't pay that well. So, back to computers I went. Now, with my amateur radio license, I hope that my fascination with radio will be rekindled.

More information is available on my website - www.AB1JU.com


Equipment

The current setup is now a Kenwood TK-7180 VHF radio (with a remote head mounted at my desk) for the local repeaters and a Vertex Standard DMR mobile unit also at my desk; they are connected to a duplexer that connects to the Arrow J-Pole antenna on my 30 foot mast. Then I have two Kenwood tri-band TH-F6A handhelds, two Motorola GP380 VHF handhelds for events and hamfests, two CS-700 UHF DMR digital handhelds, a Motorola XPR7550e UHF DMR digital handheld and for my Chevy Cruze, there are a Motorola 5550 UHF DMR mobile with a Motorola Astra Spectra for VHF. Due to space limitations in the Cruze, both those radios have Handheld Control Heads. (all controls / displays are on the microphones. The actual radio units I have mounted in the trunk.) The Chevy Suburban is not operational at this time, but I still have a Kenwood dual-band D710A radio plus an additional UHF antenna to hook up to the DMR handheld, plus an all band cellular amplifier installed. Also at the house, in addition to the Kenwood Vertex Standard mentioned previously, there are also three handheld Motorola radios that I can use to receive the ICALL / ITACS frequencies for use with my affiliation in my local A.R.E.S. (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) groups. I also have a Motorola CP200XLS VHF handheld that, due to the frequency range it has, is programmed as a receive-only scanning radio for all of my local area emergency services. (It only goes down to 146 mHz, so can't be used for some of the amateur radio repeaters I would need to have programmed in it to make it a viable radio to use.)
The home radio equipment is backed up for power with an APC UPS which also runs the radio computer in case of a power outage. For extended outages, there is a Yamaha 2400iS generator to provide extra power for not only the radio and computer equipment, but also other items in the house as required.
