Biography

QSL LoTW or Direct.

No, I don't use power amplifier when using FT8 on HF bands; instead I typically use DF4SA's Spiderbeam and up to 95W. (Currently off line. Using random wire with FC-40 tuner.)

Primary antenna for 160-40 meters is Voyager-DX.

When portable, I use TX-599 running on battery power and 5-10W. Antenna in this case is a single band dipole, frequently in inverted-V configuration with 20' aluminum painter's pole as the central support and 4' fiberglass electric fence stakes at the ends. Works great at 14MHz and up.

73 & Good DX!
