Biography

Ham since 1986.
Interested : Low Bands,favorite is 40M.
Use digital modes(wspr,jt65,JT9,RTTY)
Like CW & SSB. JT65, JT9 and FT8 mode are quiet interesting.
I'm, mostly on FT8 taking any calls.

Do most of the CQWW contest for fun.
CW only in contest or expedition(YJ0AFU) that means that i had few months without CW
so have to get the dots back in order...

WSJT-X for JT65-JT9-FT8
PSK EXPRESS for RTTY linked to N3FJP LOGS
Dimension4 PC time synchronisation

Worked DXCCs:

Equipment

TX: FT-857
AL 811H(STBY)
TimeWave ANC-4
MFJ 962D ATU
Kenwood AT200 ATU

ANT:
:G5RV 80 to 10m @ 9m
:2 elmts HB9CV tunable 15m to 10m @ 6m
:use the HB9CV as an rx antenna on 40m and it seems working very well,
having 2 coaxial cables as feeder allows you to tune the antenna for better
reception.
