My Humble Station

I'm not sure why but it seems every time I post here, on Facebook, etc. someone always contacts me and wants to know about my station. It isn't bare bones but considering I've been at this for 40 years now I still think it's modest but functional. Note there are no VHF/UHF FM items listed here. I change those too often and in general I think they are mostly a matter of which one you like the looks of the best. HF is my favorite part of amateur radio.

Here goes:

Radios & Antennas

  • - Icom IC-7200
  • - Ameritron AL-811H (seldom used) 800W amplifier
  • - Palstar AT-1K Manual Tuner
  • - 80 Meter Inverted V w/Balanced Line feed.


  • - Xiegu X108G Portable HF Transceiver (20W)
  • - Elecraft T-1 Autotuner
  • - End fed wires & 28 ft Jackite collabsible kite pole
  • - Buddipole


  • - Elecraft KX-1 Really Portable QRP Transceiver (40/30/20 Meters)
  • - End fed wires


  • - Assorted novelty rigs (Heath HW-8, Pixie, Rockmite)

Computers and Software

  • - Windows 10 Desktop, Windows 7 Laptop
  • - N3FJP Amateur Contact Log and Contest Logs
  • - FLDigi for most digital modes
  • - WSJT-X for JT65

No, this isn't every piece of gear I own but it's the major stuff. I have a few odd small tuners and accessories tucked away here and there along with some test equipment but I'm too lazy to get all of that out and inventory it. By and large these are the things I use regularly.
