My station is located 25 kms North from the centre of Adelaide.

On HF I use a Kenwood TS-940S/AT and an Emtron DX-2 Amplifier. I prefer to tailor my audio and use an EQ-Plus, W2IHY 8 band equaliser and Heil GM-4 microphone.

The HF antenna for 20/15/10m is a Chirnside CA-33 3 element yagi at a height of approximately 10 metres. I have owned this antenna for approximately 25 years. I use a Butternut HF2V vertical for 80/40m due to limited space in my backyard.

On 6 metres I use a 5 element yagi. This is visible in the photographs above the triband yagi. The transceiver for 6 metres is the YaesuFT-847

 

For satellite work I use a Yaesu FT-847 Earth Station. The antennas used are a 5 element crossed-yagi for 145MHz (LHCP) and a 9 turn helical antenna (RHCP) for 435MHz.

QSL's are okay either direct or via the bureau. I send cards via the bureau on a regular basis. No IRC's required if QSLing direct.

I also upload QSO's to LoTW and eQSL.
