My radios

My primary TRX is a Xiegu G90 which is a 20W HF all mode transceiver and an Icom IC-726 that needs some fixing. I also have a RTL-SDR v3 which I sometimes use to recieve higher bands.

For VHF/UHF I use a Baofeng UV-5RTP which is a cheap 8W handheld radio.

When I need more power I use my fathers Yaesu FTDX-3000.

My antennas

All of the antennas are homebrewed. I mostly use a Random wire antenna with a 9:1 unun I made. I also have an 40m off center fed dipole in an inverted V configuration with a 4:1 balun I made.

I also have a 1:1 balun I bought that I use for either a 40m Inverted V or a 80m linear loaded Inverted V.

I used to have a 17m, 15m and 10m Inverted V fan dipole but had problems with it and took it down.

QSL

I use QRZ's Logbook so confirmations there are instant, but I also very frequently confirm my QSO's via LOTW. If you want to send me a QSL card, you can send it to my home address or via the bureau. My QRZ page has all the details. If you want my QSL card, please contact me or send a request via OQRS.

I rarely upload my QSO's to eQSL and Clublog.

SOTA

I sometimes take my radio and antennas with me on hikes and activate summits. I've activated one summit two times so far.

I've used the callsign S52KJ/P for SOTA activations. I also participated in the 2022 YOTA month with the callsign S50YOTA.
