Finally, after almost 50 years of being a ham radio operator, I have a suitable tower and tri-band beam. The tower is about 38 feet of Rohn 25. The antenna is an A3S Cushcraft Beam.
Here's another thing of beauty. It's clear from this video that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The picture on Flickr says AK5X misses this antenna. I wonder if it was destroyed in this ice storm. Looks like it's getting along well in this picture. Imagine the operating joy having this aluminum up at 60 feet.
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).
