About My Station
LOCATION - Macon, Bibb County, Georgia. Grid square is EM82.
HF - My primary rig is an ICOM IC-7300. Secondary Rigs are the ICOM IC-746 and Elecraft K3.
QRP - Elecraft K-3 (S/N 6512), Elecraft K-1 on 20/40 (S/N 1382), and the ICOM IC-746 in five watt mode.
MOBILE - ICOM-706MKGII to a Hamstick antenna or 2 metter/440 whip.
VHF/UHF - The ICOM-706MKGII (VHF & UHF), the ICOM-746 (VHF), and the Alinco DJ-580.
ANTENNAS - My antenna system includes an A3S tri-band beam on a 40 foot tower, 80 and 40 meter dipoles mounted on the tower, a G5RV, and a 5BTV HF Vertical. On VHF and UHF I use a Diamond X-200A dual band vertical and a Radio Shack discone scanner antenna.
LOGGING PROGRAM - I am using the Ham Radio Deluxe logging program with computer control of the ICOM-7300, Elecraft K-3, and the ICOM-746. For serious contest efforts, I use the N1MM program. I publish my logs to the eQSL service and the ARRL Log Book of the World (LOTW).
