Equipment
My Current Station consists of:
Icom IC-7300 and an IC-7000
and when the going gets tough a
Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1.2Kfx Amplifer
HF Antennas are a ZS6BKW (a better G5RV) at 60 feet
a Chameleon CHA EMCOMM II, temporary install and some interesting results vs a dipole.
I sometimes work QRP Portable. QRP rigs:
Norcal 40A 40M and Elecraft KX2
QRP/Portable Antennas include a W3EDP and the CHA EMCOMM II.
I enjoy CW and interactive digital modes like
PSK, Olivia, MFSK, Constestia and sometimes RTTY.
I like a good ragchew and I really enjoy digital QSOs that extend beyond the macro exchange thus Olivia and Contestia are two of my favorite modes. I also operate PSK-31, PSK-63 and other modes as the mood strikes me. PSK63 is faster than I can type. Contesting doesn't interest me.
I use a mac mini for radio and a macbook air for portable stuff, for Logging I use MacLoggerDX
and
for digital modes Fldigi
