Will Winter ever end???

Well, the last snow storm brought down my 10 Meter dipole. Too cold and too much snow to throw it back into the tree...Will have to wait for the weekend at least.... :(

73,

Doing good so far

Been making a ton of contacts on 10 Meter SSB and PSK31. With 20 watts and a dipole at 30 feet, I have gotten into Germany and Brazil...Not bad I guess...

Station is Growing

Just got ahold of an old Radio Shack HTX-10 25 Watt 10 Meter USB/LSB, AM. FM transceiver. I am running it into a full wave dipole mounted high on an inside wall right now. I can hear European stations, but the farthest I have talked with is Montana. Once I get an antenna outside in the Spring, I should do much better.

Took down the J-Pole...Put up a Ground Plane.

Bought the Arrow Dual Band Ground Plane antenna.  Built like a tank, this thing should last a very long time.

I live on the third floor and this is about 3 feet above the roofline. Total height about 45 feet.

Station Setup

I got a 30 Amp Astron PS. I also bought a like new 35 Watt VHF Amp for the Handheld. Next Purchase will be the HF rig, then the HF antenna and Coax.
Might not be till early next year that I get it all set up

73s & 88s,

Built a J-Pole and got it up outside...

Finally built my Dual Band J-Pole out of 1/2" copper pipe and got it up above the rooftop. It is being fed with 50' of RG-58...I will post pics later.
