Hello and thank you for looking up my callsign. Thank you for your time in talking to me. I have held my license since November 2007. I operate a Yaesu FT-857 with a Hustler 6BTV trapped vertical. I also purchased the DX engineering tilt over plate that makes taking down the vertical in high winds or for antenna adjustments a breeze. I also have up a 65’ end fed wire through a 9:1 unun to my MFJ-949E Deluxe Versa Tuner 2 while working HF and a Watson W-50 collinear for working VHF/UHF. I also use a Tigertronics Signalink USB to operate Digital modes. When mobile I operate a Yaesu FT-7800E 2m/70cm Dual band transceiver with a Sirio HP 2070 R mobile antenna. For APRS I have a TAIT 530c connected to a Cross Country Wireless APRS TNC Digi Tracker.
