DX-expedition El Salvador YS1/NO7B

If you need a QSL card from El Salvador from: US, send a SASE with sufficient stamps plus one dollar to cover my costs All other countries send SASE with 2 dollars. Do not send QSL cards through Bureau I will not accept them,thanks.

Also Please don't send IRC as it is difficult to convert at the Post Office.

I started my ham radio career in 1968. My license was issued in Indiana as WN9ZBT. However, I never used my license there as I had just finished my Masters degree and then moved to Washington state. I first got on the air in Seattle. A year later I received my Washington call of WN7LFJ. Shorely after that I passed my General and became WA7LFJ. In 2009 I passed my Extra exam and applied for a vanity call of NO7B.

I am interested in DX but still like to "ragchew". I travel all over the world and enjoy meeting the hams I meet. Since I teach History here it is real interesting to visit the places I teach about.

I QSL 100% and enjoy receiving QSL cards from all over the US and the world. If you hear me on give me a call.

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.

Member of the WIA, ARRL,and SKCC #8933

Thanks for the enjoyable QSO and I hope to hear you again.

Best 73,

Paul
